KANSAS CITY (AP) - Todd Frazier hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning and Justin Morneau had four hits to lift the Chicago White Sox past the Kansas City Royals 7-5 on Tuesday night.

Frazier is tied for the major league lead with 31 homers, and this one came on the first pitch from Kelvin Herrera (1-4) after a single by Jose Abreu and a double by Morneau.

David Robertson (3-2) blew a save in the ninth when Alcides Escobar's two-out single scored pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson.

Dan Jennings struck out Eric Hosmer to end the game, logging his first career save.

White Sox All-Star left-hander Chris Sale is 0-3 in five starts since a July 2 victory against Houston. He gave up three runs and seven hits in the first 21/3 innings but did not allow a hit after that. He threw 115 pitches in seven innings, striking out seven and walking one.

After Edinson Volquez retired the first two hitters in the fifth, the White Sox used five straight singles to score three runs and lead 4-3. Melky Cabrera, Abreu and Morneau each drove in a run.

Paulo Orlando, batting leadoff for the first time this season, started the first with a double and scored on Cheslor Cuthbert's single.

Hosmer's single in the third scored Cuthbert and Lorenzo Cain, giving the Royals a 3-1 advantage. Sale retired the next 13 batters before walking Raul Mondesi in the seventh.

Volquez allowed four runs, 10 hits and a walk over six innings.

The Royals scored an unearned run in the 10th when Cuthbert doubled, took third on an error and scored on Cain's groundout.

Abreu, who is from Cuba, visited his 5-year-old son Dariel on the off-day Monday in Miami in his first time on United States soil.

"I couldn't say anything. I just started crying," Abreu said.

Dariel, who is staying with grandparents in Florida, will see his father play in the majors for the first time this weekend when the White Sox play at the Marlins.

Notes: Royals LHP Mike Minor (recovering from 2015 labrum surgery) threw 4 1/3 innings Sunday on a rehab start for Triple-A Omaha, allowing three hits and one run against Colorado Springs. Royals general manager Dayton Moore attended Minor's start. "He was very impressed with his fastball command and had a very good changeup with a lot of life," Royals manager Ned Yost said of Moore's scouting report. White Sox OF-DH Avisail Garcia was placed on the disabled list with a sprained right knee. OF Jason Coats was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. Royals RHP Ian Kennedy has allowed one earned run and seven hits while striking out 15 in 13 innings in his past two starts. White Sox LHP Jose Quintana is 1-8 with a 4.28 ERA in 20 career starts against the Royals.
