LaMarre helped the White Sox win a series in
New York against the Yankees for the first time since August
2005 by hitting a two-run double in the second, an RBI double in
the fourth and a solo homer in the seventh.
The left fielder recorded his third career three-hit game and is
hitting .364 (12-for-33) in 16 games with the White Sox, who
claimed him off waivers from Minnesota in early July.
LaMarre's big night helped the White Sox continue their improved
play in recent weeks. Chicago won a fifth straight road series
for the first time since April 2005 and also won for the 11th
time in 15 games.
The Yankees fell to 16-7 in their last 23 games since getting
swept in a four-game series at Fenway Park from Aug. 2-5. New
York also dropped 7 1/2 games behind Boston in the American
League East and remained 4 1/2 games ahead of Oakland in the
wild-card race.
Reynaldo Lopez (5-9) allowed one run and five hits in seven
innings to end a nine-game winless streak. Before winning for
the first time since July 1 at Texas, he was 0-4 with a 6.70
ERA.
Lopez loaded the bases on two singles and a walk in the fifth
before allowing a single to Ronald Torreyes that made it 3-1.
Lopez then struck out Brett Gardner and tagged out Gleyber
Torres at the plate trying to advance on a ball that reached the
backstop.
Xavier Cedeno breezed through a hitless eighth by getting three
groundouts, and Jace Fry pitched a scoreless ninth to record his
fourth save for Chicago.
Yankees starter CC Sabathia (7-5) allowed three runs on five
hits in six innings and took his first loss since July 9.
Chicago played the game without Tim Anderson (bruised left
ankle). The shortstop injured his ankle in a collision with
outfielder Nicky Delmonico in the eighth inning Tuesday and is
day to day.
