CHICAGO (AP) — Paul Konerko had a pair of two-run homers and an RBI single and pinch-hitter Andruw Jones had grand slam in a six-run sixth inning, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 12-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.

Konerko lined a run-scoring single to left to give Chicago its first lead of the game in the sixth inning.

Kansas City led 6-0 after a half inning, but Chicago chipped away with two runs apiece in the first, third and fourth innings.

The victory helped Chicago keep pace in the AL Central. The White Sox remain six games behind Minnesota, who beat Cleveland, and face the Twins in the opener of a three-game series on Tuesday.
