Sheets had a two-run single in the first inning and a
run-scoring infield single in the seventh. He finished 3-for-5
for the White Sox, who also got two hits apiece from Jose Abreu
and Romy Gonzalez.
Sheets' outburst was plenty for Giolito (10-7), who allowed four
hits and two walks while striking out three.
The right-hander exited with one out and runners on first and
second in the seventh. Kendall Graveman entered and loaded the
bases by walking Rougned Odor, but he got out of the jam by
inducing a double-play grounder from Jorge Mateo.
The White Sox scored their lone runs against Baltimore
right-hander Spenser Watkins (4-4) in the first inning. After
Andrew Vaughn singled to right with one out and Luis Robert
walked, the runners each advanced a base on Abreu's single
before Sheets' single to center gave Chicago a 2-0 lead.
The Orioles cut the deficit in half in the fourth inning.
After Adley Rutschman led off by doubling off the right field
wall, he took third on Anthony Santander's flyout and pulled the
Orioles to within 2-1 by scoring on Ryan Mountcastle's groundout
to shortstop.
Watkins kept the White Sox off the scoreboard after his rocky
first inning. He lasted six innings and allowed two runs on five
hits to go along with five strikeouts and two walks.
The White Sox extended their lead in the seventh.
After Seby Zavala walked and AJ Pollock struck out, Vaughn
walked and Robert singled to load the bases.
Baltimore right-hander Bryan Baker struck out Abreu for the
second out, then was replaced by left-hander Keegan Akin, who
gave up an infield single to Sheets that scored Zavala.
The White Sox added two runs in the eighth, with Elvis Andrus
scoring on Louis Head's wild pitch and Pollock contributing a
run-scoring single.
Austin Hays hit a two-run home run in the ninth off White Sox
closer Liam Hendriks to cap the scoring.
Cedric Mullins and Mountcastle each went 2-for-4 for the
Orioles.
