Overview

• Seattle and Houston victories mathematically knocked Baltimore out of the race despite the win over the White Sox.
• Dylan Beavers tripled, homered and drove in three, while Samuel Basallo added a two-run shot as Gunnar Henderson and Coby Mayo each collected three hits.
• Dean Kremer, making his first start in 11 days after forearm discomfort, held Chicago to two runs on four hits over 5 1/3 innings.
• A five-run eighth by Chicago, fueled by two wild pitches from Chayce McDermott and a two-run homer by Andrew Benintendi, cut a six-run lead before Keegan Akin closed for his sixth save.
• The elimination capped a season undermined by a 15-28 start, Brandon Hyde’s midyear dismissal and a trade deadline sell-off that opened everyday roles for rookies.
