American League New York has lost five straight and finished the season series 2-10 against Chicago. The defeats include Andy Hawkins' losing no-hitter on July 1 and Melido Perez's winning no-hitter on Thursday. The Yankees scored four runs in the fifth off Eric King to take a 4-2 lead, but the White Sox came right back in the sixth with five runs on five hits. Rookie Alan Mills (1-3) replaced Yankees starter Dave LaPoint after Dan Pasqua reached on a bad-hop single with one out.

Pinch-hitter Robin Ventura doubled and Ozzie Guillen walked to load the bases before Sosa dropped a single down the right-field line to tie the score.

By Howard Ulman Associated Press BOSTON Led by Gerald Perry, Kansas City pounded Boston pitching for the third straight day as the last-place Royals humbled the first-place Red Sox. Perry led an 18-hit attack with a single, double and three stolen bases as the Royals scored three runs to break a sixth-inning tie yesterday and spark a 13-4 rout. "We snowed a lot of character to take three of four from the Red Sox here," Kansas City manager John Wathan said.

"We scored a lot of runs, and the pitching was good." The Royals outscored the Red Sox 27-16 and outhit them 57-39. Boston needed a five-run eighth-inning rally for its only victory Saturday in the second game of a day-night doubleheader. Nothing to do "There's nothing we can do about it. It's over," Boston's Tony Pena said. "We didn't hit as well as we're capable of hitting.

We didn't play defense as well as we can." Kansas City began the day 15 games behind first-place Oakland in the American League West. Boston started it with a half-game lead over Toronto in the East. Perry set a club record for hits in a doubleheader Saturday when he went 7-for-9 and stole one base. Yesterday, he scored three runs and was instrumental in the tie-breaking rally. "I've just been trying not to overswing, to put the ball in play," said Perry, who raised his batting average 20 points in the series to .265.

"In the spring, I hurt my hand and I didn't run really well early in the year. Now, I feel really well." With the score 3-3, Jim Eisen-reich walked and took third on Perry's hit-and-run single. Dennis Lamp replaced Dana Keicker (2-4) and allowed Pat Tabler's sacrifice fly. Perry stole second, and Mike Macfarlane walked. Perry then stole third and scored on Bill Pecota's squeeze bunt, which sent Macfarlane to second.

Consecutive singles by Kevin Seitzer and Kurt Stillwell made it 6-3. "Perry's steals were big plays," Wathan said. "He made something happen." Kansas City added six runs in the seventh on RBI singles by Tabler, Macfarlane, Pecota and Stillwell and George Brett's two-run double. Brett's two doubles gave him 532, breaking a 16th-place tie on the all-time list with Cap Anson, who had 530. "They're just a hot team right now swinging the bats," Kiecker said.

National League Charlton (7-4), promoted to the starting rotation from the bullpen, made his first start since Oct. 1, 1988, when he was a rookie.

Pinch-hitter Gregg Jefferies walked, went to third on a one-out single by Dave Magadan and scored on a fielder's choice grounder by Mark Carreon.

The Mets loaded the bases in the fifth on two walks and Tim Teufel's single, but Fernandez flew out to center to end the inning.
