Luis Robert’s 458-foot home run capped a second five-run inning of the night for Chicago as the White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 11-6 Thursday night.

Robert was one of three White Sox to homer, joining Edwin Encarnacion and Tim Anderson.

Danny Duffy (2-3) took the loss for Kansas City. He gave up six runs- all earned- on seven hits and five walks, while striking out three.

Hunter Dozier homered for the Royals in the first inning. Alex Gordon and Nicky Lopez each doubled in a run for KC in the sixth. Lopez and Adelberto Mondesi each picked up an RBI with ground outs in the eighth.
