Eloy Jimenez and Andrus homered as Chicago
avoided a fifth loss in six games and stopped the Rangers'
winning streak at three.
Corey Seager went 3-for-4 with five RBIs and Adolis Garcia
belted a solo home run among his two hits to spark Texas.
Seager's two-run double in the top of the eighth gave the
Rangers a 6-4 lead.
The Texas bullpen couldn't uphold the advantage, however, in a
see-saw game. Andrus contributed a game-tying, two-run single
off Grant Anderson in the bottom half of the eighth to set the
stage for Remillard, a rookie playing his fourth career game.
Remillard singled to left fielder Travis Jankowski, whose throw
beat a sliding Andrus to home plate, where Andrus was called
out. Chicago challenged the play, however, and a review prompted
the umpires to rule that Texas catcher Jonah Heim blocked the
runner with a foot on the plate without the ball, thus allowing
the run to score.
Kendall Graveman pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save.
After yielding one home run in his first eight starts, Rangers
right-hander Nathan Eovaldi has allowed seven long balls in his
past seven starts.
The White Sox flexed their muscle early, as Jimenez blasted a
two-run shot over the right field wall just three batters into
the home half of the first.
Texas responded with runs in the fourth and fifth innings,
getting a solo home run off the bat of Garcia in the fourth and
an RBI double from Seager in the fifth.
Andrus connected on a fastball for a solo homer with one out in
the fifth to snap a 2-all tie.
Anderson (1-1) took the loss, allowing three runs and three hits
in one inning. Aaron Bummer (3-1) was the winner despite giving
up Seager's two-run double on his first batter of the game in
the eighth. He then struck out Josh Jung to end the inning.
Eovaldi scattered four runs and five hits in six innings with
two walks and four strikeouts. White Sox counterpart Dylan Cease
allowed two runs and five hits in six innings with two walks and
nine strikeouts.
Jankowski and Leody Taveras had two hits apiece for Texas.
Andrew Benintendi, Andrus and Remillard each had two hits for
the White Sox.
