Leury Garcia added a solo homer and Tim
Anderson an RBI double for the White Sox, who split a two-game
set in Pittsburgh.

and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings, with one walk and seven
strikeouts.
Liam Hendriks pitched the ninth for his 19th save.
Ke'Bryan Hayes hit a pair of RBI singles for the Pirates, who

In the second with one out, Garcia hit his first homer, a shot
to right-center, for a 1-0 White Sox lead. Luis Gonzalez
followed with a double to the corner in left and, after Cease
struck out, scored on Anderson's double to the wall in center to
up it to 2-0.
Pittsburgh tied it in the third, with considerable help from
Cease. Michael Perez singled up the middle. De Jong bunted
toward the mound, where Cease bobbled the ball for a fielding
error, then threw wildly to first for a throwing error. The
two-error play left the runners at second and third.
Perez scored on Adam Frazier's groundout to close it to 2-1,
with De Jong moving to third. Hayes knocked in De Jong with a
base hit to left.
In the fifth, Anderson singled to right. De Jong struck out Yoan

sending Anderson to third. Grandal chased De Jong with a double
to left-center that drove in Anderson and Lamb for a 4-2 Chicago
lead.
Against reliever Codi Heuer in the seventh, Frazier hit a
one-out double to the corner in right and scored on Hayes' base
hit up the middle to pull the Pirates to within 4-3.
