Baltimore rebounded from a loss Saturday to
keep the White Sox from capturing their first series victory of
the season.
Austin Hays, Gunnar Henderson and Jorge Mateo each had two hits
for Baltimore, which has won five of seven. Felix Bautista
worked around a two-out single and wild pitch in the ninth to
close the game.
Gavin Sheets led the Chicago attack with two hits and three
RBIs.
Mike Baumann (2-0) was the winner with two innings of scoreless
relief with one walk and two strikeouts. Aaron Bummer (0-1)
allowed three runs and two hits without recording an out for the
White Sox, who have lost five of seven.
A four-run, first-inning outburst staked the White Sox to an
early lead against Baltimore starter Grayson Rodriguez.
Sheets drilled a three-run shot to open the scoring after Luis
Robert walked and Andrew Vaughn singled to start the game. Jake
Burger added a solo shot two batters later, homering for the
third time in as many games in the series.
Dylan Cease allowed four runs (two earned) and six hits in six
innings with five walks and five strikeouts while throwing a
career-high 113 pitches. He retired the side in order in the
first inning before working out of a bases-loaded, two-out jam
in the second.
Cease encountered more trouble in the fourth, although his
defense cost him a chance to wriggle out of it. After allowing
two singles and an RBI sacrifice fly, he induced Terrin Vavra
into a two-out ground ball to third base, but Burger committed
an error.
Mullins followed by lining a two-run triple to cut the Orioles'
deficit to 4-3.
Rodriguez scattered four runs and six hits in five innings with
two walks and eight strikeouts.
Cease delivered the first pitch at 3:32 p.m. CT, as the game
started after a rain delay of two hours, 22 minutes.
Seby Zavala went 2-for-4 for Chicago. The White Sox had seven
hits, but only the pair of first-inning home runs went for extra
bases.
