Overview

  • Andrew Benintendi and Lenyn Sosa launched solo homers in the second inning to stake Chicago to an early lead.
  • Colson Montgomery’s sixth homer in nine games and Josh Rojas’s ninth-inning solo shot rounded out the White Sox’s four-homer output.
  • Shane Smith returned from a left ankle sprain and threw 4⅓ innings, allowing two runs with four strikeouts in his first start since July 11.
  • Reliever Jordan Leasure struck out the first four batters he faced to earn the win and Steven Wilson closed out the game with a two-inning, three-strikeout save.
  • A seventh-inning relay from Mike Tauchman to Colson Montgomery cut down a potential tying run at third base to preserve the lead.
