Burger and Vaughn each had two doubles, while Burger knocked in
two runs and Vaughn one. Vaughn finished 3-for-5 to raise his
batting average to .298 for the White Sox, who had 16 hits. Left
fielder AJ Pollock was the only Chicago starter without a hit.
The White Sox scored four runs in the first inning and two in
the second to take a 6-0 lead and chase Tampa Bay starter Ryan
Yarbrough (0-3) after 1 2/3 innings. Yarbrough gave up eight
hits while walking two. He did not record a strikeout.
Burger continued his hot streak after hitting a two-run,
pinch-hit home run in Saturday's 3-2 victory. With Burger and
Vaughn helping to ease the offensive absence of All-Star
shortstop Tim Anderson, who is out with a groin injury, the
White Sox won their second straight game after losing four in a
row.
Chicago starter Lucas Giolito (4-2) cruised into the fifth
inning with the 6-0 lead but allowed a leadoff home run to Isaac
Paredes that went 410 feet.
The Rays crawled back to within a run in the sixth. Yandy Diaz
opened with an infield single, and Ji-Man Choi reached base when
Yasmani Grandal, playing first, couldn't handle a throw from
shortstop Danny Mendick. Grandal was charged with an error.
A Harold Ramirez sacrifice fly drove in Diaz, and Randy
Arozarena followed with an RBI triple to score Choi. Mike Zunino
hit a two-out, two-run homer that traveled 364 feet to make the
score 6-5.
Giolito was charged with all five runs, two earned. Liam
Hendriks pitched a perfect ninth to post his 16th save of the
year. He had one strikeout.
Diaz had two hits for Tampa Bay.
The White Sox next will host the Los Angeles Dodgers in a
three-game series starting Tuesday night. The Rays will host the
St. Louis Cardinals in a three-game set starting the same night.
