08/21/2010 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Yuniesky Betancourt tied the game in the seventh with a grand slam and won the game in the 11th with a run-scoring single, as the Kansas City Royals rallied past the Chicago White Sox, 6-5, in the first game of a doubleheader at Kauffman Stadium.
