The Chicago White Sox are trying to run away from their American League Central rivals. They're leaving a bunch of other teams behind, too.
Aaron Rowand singled in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning Saturday night and the White Sox beat Kansas City 3-2 for the best 18-game start in their 104-year history.
The major league-leading White Sox (14-4) have won a season-high six straight and eight of nine. They are 8-2 on the road, best in the AL and their best start since the 1973 team went 9-2. The White Sox also have won their first seven series of the season for the first time in franchise history.
