White Sox Power Past Pirates 10-1 in Second-Half Opener

Chicago ended Pittsburgh’s seven-game home streak thanks to a seven-run outburst that backed Jonathan Cannon’s quality start

Overview

  • Edgar Quero’s first-inning solo homer and Luis Robert Jr.’s fourth-inning shot ignited a seven-run surge for the White Sox
  • Michael A. Taylor’s bases-clearing double in the seventh inning and two-run performances from Andrew Benintendi and Colson Montgomery extended the lead
  • Jonathan Cannon struck out two over seven innings, allowing just one run on five hits and issuing no walks
  • Luis Robert Jr. robbed Isiah Kiner-Falefa with a diving catch in left-center to preserve Chicago’s momentum
  • The defeat snapped Pittsburgh’s seven-game home winning streak and capped a stretch in which the Pirates lost nine of 10 games while scoring just 17 runs
