Chicago White Sox starter Gavin Floyd hasn’t been at his best in recent outings against the Kansas City Royals. The same could be said for Royals right-hander Brian Bannister when facing the White Sox. The good news for both pitchers is they have a chance to earn a rare win against a division rival in Sunday’s finale of a three-game series. Floyd gave up six runs and a career-high 13 hits over 6 1-3 innings of a 7-2 home loss to the Royals on May 4. Four of those runs came in his final inning of work. The next day, Bannister was tagged for seven runs and seven hits over just three innings in a 9-2 defeat. Both pitchers’ struggles continued into their next start. Floyd gave up five runs over 6 1-3 innings May 9 against Toronto but avoided a decision in a 9-7 loss. Bannister wasn’t as fortunate in an 8-2 defeat to visiting Cleveland on Tuesday night as he dropped his second straight start after allowing four runs, six hits and three walks over six innings. He’s been far from good against Chicago over much of the past four seasons. After winning two of his first three career starts against the White Sox, Bannister is 1-5 with a 10.06 ERA in the last 10 matchups.

Floyd has an even worse record in his last six starts versus Kansas City, going 0-5 with a 6.25 ERA. The Royals will try to add to those struggles while trying to earn their second win in three games with new manager Ned Yost. They seemed to be headed toward another victory under Yost, who took over for the fired Trey Hillman before the series opener, and third in a row overall on Saturday night after getting out to a 4-1 lead in the first three innings. The White Sox, however, scored four runs in the seventh for a 5-4 win, their seventh in 17 games. Chicago had batted .205 with runners in scoring position heading into the night but was 4 for 7 in the victory.
