The White Sox fell to 4-9 this month.
Verlander (4-5) allowed one run -- a Luis Robert Jr. homer in
the seventh -- on three hits and struck out seven. One start
after he issued six walks, one shy of his career high, Verlander
walked one batter and threw 76 of his 100 pitches for strikes on
Wednesday.
Verlander retired the first nine batters he faced before Andrew
Benintendi's leadoff single in the fourth. He then retired the
next 10 prior to Robert's homer. Verlander then walked Jake
Burger and gave up a two-out single to Gavin Sheets before
striking out Carlos Perez.
Verlander threw a 1-2-3 eighth before Adam Ottavino tossed a
perfect ninth in a non-save situation.
Baty homered leading off the third against Touki Toussaint
(0-3). The Mets then sent eight batters to the plate in the
fourth against Toussaint.
Pete Alonso worked a leadoff walk before Toussaint plunked Jeff
McNeil. Alvarez singled to score Alonso and send McNeil to
third. After Daniel Vogelbach walked to load the bases, Baty
grounded into a forceout as McNeil scored.
Guillorme followed with a sacrifice fly and Nimmo then doubled
to left to score Baty.
Alvarez, who homered twice in Tuesday's 11-10 win, had two hits.
Vogelbach had the Mets' other hit, a sixth-inning single.
Toussaint, making his first start since July 8, allowed the five
runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three over
six innings -- his longest start since Aug. 16, 2021, when he
was pitching for the Atlanta Braves.
