There was no Colson Montgomery in the White Sox lineup for Monday night’s series opener against the Royals at Rate Field. Kyle Teel also was on the bench, as was Mike Tauchman. Chicago’s offense still produced without three of its most potent hitters during a 7-0 victory,

Shane Smith allowed one hit in a career-high seven innings, Korey Lee hit a two-run homer, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 7-0.
