C Kevan Smith drove in both of Chicago's runs, with a single in the fourth inning and a double in the sixth. In the month of September, Smith is hitting .310, with three doubles, a home run and five RBIs.

C Kevan Smith hit his fourth home run of the season Sunday off the Royals RHP Ian Kennedy. It was his first home run since Aug. 8 against Houston. Smith is batting .281 this season.

PH Kevan Smith grounded out to second for the second out of the ninth inning Sunday and was glad to see SS Tim Anderson spoil LHP Matthew Boyd's no-hit bid with a single. "He had our guys off balance, I thought," Smith said of Boyd. "I thought he did a great job of commanding his pitches, and you could see he had pitchers off-balance the whole game. I kept hearing a lot of things about his changeup, and he was throwing a slower breaking pitch. It was awesome to see Timmy get that hit; you could see the frustration in Boyd, because complete no-hitters don't come by too often. But I just stuck with my approach, and almost squeezed one by there. Hats off to him."

C Kevan Smith went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and has now hit safely in 10 of his last 12 games. Smith has had a big season against Texas, too. He's 6-for-12 with two doubles and five RBIs in five games against Texas.

C Kevan Smith was 2-for-3 and snapped an 0-for-16 slump with a second-inning base hit. He's batting .333 over his last 26 games. Smith reached base three times but did not ever advance past first.

C Kevan Smith got a night off Wednesday against the New York Yankees, but he has handled the bulk of catching starts recently in a timeshare situation with C Omar Narvaez. Smith, 29, is hitting .350 in his past six games and even drew his first walk of the season, in 109 at-bats, in Chicago's 4-3 win Tuesday. "I've never been a high walk guy," Smith said. "I've been very aggressive. Walks will come. I'm sure more of them will come now that I've got the first one out of the way."

C Kevan Smith had his first career multi-hit game Sunday, going 2-for-4. Smith had a double and a run-scoring infield single.

C Kevan Smith was called up from Triple-A Charlotte Wednesday after C Geovany Soto was placed on the disabled list with elbow information. This marks the second stint Smith has made with the White Sox this season after he went 1-for-11 from the plate when he played three games between April 13-20. Smith has appeared in 14 games with Triple-A Charlotte this season and his hitting .377 with 15 RBIs and a .435 on-base percentage

C Kevin Smith singled off RHP Dillon Gee to lead off the fifth on Saturday. It was his first big league hit in his 10th at-bat.

C Kevan Smith was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, and he made his major league debut. He entered as a defensive replacement and lined out in his lone plate appearance at Minnestoa. Smith hit .219 with eight home runs and 24 RBIs in 49 games for Charlotte.
