USWNT shows big improvements in three-game Japan series | The IX Soccer The USWNT won two of three matches against Japan in a window where they focused on deepening connections and facing top-level competition.

As @kgier.bsky.social writes, the USWNT showed massive improvements over the course of three friendlies against Japan:

The Padres play in one of the smallest media markets in MLB! They stunk! No one was going to games!

Then their beloved late owner Peter Seidler decided to start spending money and pissed off all the other small market owners by blowing up their whole fake broke scheme and now here we are!

"Luckily I was in a situation where it was mutual on both sides. I was able to choose a destination. I felt like they loved each other. I could feel the sisterhood just on & off the court and looking at them. So it felt like the right situation for me." - Angel Reese @theixsports.bsky.social #WNBA

FINAL: White Sox 6, Royals 5

Chicago and Kansas City split the series. Royals now head out on a 6-game road trip.

END OF 8: White Sox 6, Royals 5

Four scoreless innings and just one hit for the Royals since they held the 5-4 lead. #Royals

END OF 7: White Sox 6, Royals 5

Chicago takes the lead with a lead-off double from Dustin Harris. He advanced on a sacrifice bunt and bases-loaded wild pitch. It's getting weird here. #Royals

END OF 6: Royals 5, White Sox 5

Chicago tacked on one more in the top of the sixth inning with a bases-loaded walk. Kansas City can't capitalize on an E5 and leave a runner on second.

#Royals

END OF 5: Royals 5, White Sox 4

Kansas City leaves one man on, but still leads by a run and (maybe more importantly) still has its starter on the mound. Noah Cameron enters the sixth with 52 pitches/41 strikes. #Royals

END OF 4: Royals 5, White Sox 4

Colson Montgomery hit a two-run homer for Chicago, but Kansas City strung together a couple of hits and a sacrifice bunt to take back the lead.

#Royals

END OF 3: Royals 3, White Sox 2

Chicago is probably lucky to get out of the inning without more damage. White Sox walked four, gave up two hits and needed three pitchers to send the Royals back to the dugout.

On we go.

#Royals

Oof. Another walk by the White Sox. They're calling in pitcher No. 4 with one out in the third inning.

Bases are still loaded for the Royals with Salvy at the plate and the score tied 2-2. #Royals

Three straight walks and the Royals are on the board. They've still got just one out with bases loaded again, trailing 2-1 in the third.

#Royals

Bases loaded with Bobby Witt Jr. at the plate. Royals have one out in the third inning, trailing by two runs.

#Royals

Royals have two on and the White Sox just brought in their third pitcher of the game with one out in the third. He starts with a wild pitch that moves runners into scoring position.

This crowd is ready for something exciting after a 3-hour delay.

#Royals

Tanner Murray breaks Chicago's 21-inning scoreless streak with a two-run homer to left field. It's his first career homer and he snuck it right over the wall into the bullpen.

END OF 2: White Sox 2, Royals 0

4:10 p.m. first pitch after a 3-hour rain delay. Let's do this.

LHP Noah Cameron on the mound for Kansas City to start the game. He'll face RHP Grant Taylor of the Chicago White Sox.

#Royals

Oh, no. The police dog that "threw out" the first pitch just jumped up and bit Sluggerrr.

It seems everyone is a little testy after the rain delay. #Royals

Is it like a little diploma? Because that would be kind of cute.

The tarp is off at Kauffman Stadium! First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. between the Royals and White Sox.

First pitch is scheduled fo 4:10 p.m. It's 3:04 p.m., and it's raining, so we'll see.

I had Teal Rising Cup tickets across town this evening, and Royals are in a rain delay until "the 4 o'clock hour."

Anyone want to watch the Current from the fancy seats for me...? #KCBaby
