Royals win testy game with White Sox

By The Associated Press

Mike Aviles went 4-for-4 with a home run, Zack Greinke pitched well into the seventh inning, and the Kansas City Royals defeated the Chicago White Sox 14-3 on Sunday in a game featuring five ejections.

There was a bench-clearing brawl in the fifth inning when Royals catcher Miguel Olivo was hit by a pitch from D.J. Carrasco and charged the mound. Olivo, Carrasco and White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen were sent to the clubhouse once order was restored.

Greinke (9-7) held the White Sox to three hits and no runs the first six innings, then allowed two runs in the seventh before hitting Nick Swisher with a pitch. Greinke was ejected along with Royals manager Trey Hillman.
