White Sox starter Touki Toussaint exited after
yielding his fifth walk of the night to open the fifth inning,
but he gave up only a two-run homer to Ian Happ and a solo shot
to Seiya Suzuki, plus one other hit.
White Sox relievers Tanner Banks, Lane Ramsey (1-0), Aaron
Bummer and Gregory Santos (fourth save) then held the Cubs to
just two hits without a walk while striking out five over five
shutout innings. Ramsey posted his first career win in his
fourth major league appearance.
The White Sox snapped their three-game skid and earned their
sixth straight win at Wrigley Field.
Robert also singled, Elvis Andrus had a two-run single for one
of his two hits and Andrew Benintendi added an RBI double in the
ninth for the White Sox, who dropped the first two of the season
series at home last month.
The Cubs' Kyle Hendricks had his issues early, allowing three
runs over the first two innings, but that was all. He also gave
up seven hits and two walks in six innings for the Cubs, who
have dropped four of the past seven.
The White Sox loaded the bases against Hendricks in the first.
Benintendi drew a one-out walk, and hits from Robert and Eloy
Jimenez followed. However, they managed just one run, on Yoan
Moncada's RBI fielder's choice.
The Cubs quickly erased that deficit in the bottom of the first.
Mike Tauchman led off with a walk, then scored when Happ went
deep into the right field bleachers.
The White Sox regained the lead in the second on Andrus' hit
that scored two. Two innings later, however, Suzuki tied it with
his solo drive into the left field bleachers.
White Sox star Tim Anderson was scratched from the lineup due to
a stiff neck.
