Conforto jolted the Giants with a three-run
blast in the first inning, connecting against White Sox
right-hander Lance Lynn on a 1-2 pitch with two outs. There were
two outs in the second when Sabol went deep, the first of the
rookie's three hits.
Yastrzemski hit a two-run home run against Lynn in the fifth,
and Flores added a two-run shot against Jose Ruiz in the sixth.
Davis jumped on the first pitch he saw from Chicago position
player Hanser Alberto -- making his second relief appearance of
the series -- for a ninth-inning grand slam.
Giants left-hander Alex Wood labored through his first start of
the season, needing 71 pitches to complete 3-plus innings. Wood
scattered three runs, one earned, and six hits while walking two
and striking out three.
Lynn (0-1) endured an even rougher time, spacing eight runs and
nine hits in 4 1/3 innings with three walks and five strikeouts.
Four of the hits Lynn allowed went for extra bases, with three
leaving the ballpark.
Tim Anderson hit a two-run single against Wood in the second
inning to bring Chicago to within 4-2. Wood allowed successive
singles to start the White Sox fourth and was removed for Jakob
Junis. Wood was charged with a run on Andrew Vaughn's RBI single
later in the inning.
Junis (2-0) was the winner, allowing two hits, two walks and
posting four strikeouts in four scoreless innings.
Thairo Estrada, Conforto and Davis (5 RBIs) joined Sabol with
three-hit games for the Giants, who outhit Chicago 20-11.
Jake Burger's second-inning double was Chicago's lone extra-base
hit until Andrew Benintendi and Elvis Andrus had successive RBI
doubles against Giants position player Matt Beaty in the ninth.
Andrus' hit scored two runs.
San Francisco infielder Brandon Crawford was held out with
forearm tightness, but the club said he's expected to play in
Friday's home opener against the Kansas City Royals.
