Ian Kennedy notched his ninth save in 13 opportunities to help
Arizona to its first series sweep since July 25-27 against San
Francisco. Elvis Andrus hit a one-out double in the ninth, but
the White Sox couldn't capitalize, as Kennedy fanned Leury
Garcia and Romy Gonzalez with two runners on to end the game.
Chicago suffered its ninth loss in 11 games despite outhitting
Arizona 7-3.
The White Sox squandered a sterling start from right-hander
Dylan Cease, who allowed two runs and two hits in a career-high
eight innings with one walk and eight strikeouts.
Alcantara's solo homer to right field with one out in the eighth
tied the game at 2 while snapping a string of 17 straight
retired by Cease, whose only other hit surrendered was a solo
home run off the bat of Garrett with two out in the second.
Arizona starter Zach Davies scattered three hits through five
scoreless innings to start the game before fortunes turned in
the sixth. Jose Abreu singled with one out, and Andrew Vaughn
doubled two pitches later to give Chicago two runners in scoring
position. Arizona right fielder Daulton Varsho attempted a
sliding catch on the play, but narrowly missed.
Gavin Sheets followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 1.
The White Sox took the lead one batter later, when AJ Pollock
hit a sharp grounder that deflected off Davies for a run-scoring
single.
Davies exited after allowing two runs and six hits in 5 2/3
innings with two walks and five strikeouts.
Noe Ramirez (5-4) struck out one in a scoreless eighth. Kendall
Graveman (3-3) took the loss, spacing one run and one hit with
two walks.
Andrus had two hits.
The Diamondbacks have won eight straight against the White Sox.
