KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Drew Waters drew a bases-loaded walk to break an eighth-inning tie in his major league debut, boosting the Kansas City Royals to a 6-4 win over the Chicago White Sox in a game rescheduled because of the lockout in April.

Joe Kelly, the seventh of eight White Sox pitchers, hit a pair of batters to start the inning.

Ryan O'Hearn singled, and Waters drew a five-pitch walk with one out to break a 4-all tie.

The White Sox rallied from a four-run deficit after their starter, Michael Kopech, exited the game having faced just four hitters. The team said he departed with left knee soreness.
