The Kansas City Royals lost their starting pitcher in the first inning and were in the middle of a listless day at the plate before Johnny Giavotella turned it all around with one big swing. Giavotella hit a two-run double off Matt Thornton in the seventh inning and Jeff Francoeur belted his first homer of the season, leading the Royals to a 9-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
