Zavala, Andrew Vaughn and Zach Remillard each
had three hits for Chicago, while the Angels got three hits
apiece from Shohei Ohtani and Brandon Drury.
White Sox starter Lucas Giolito (6-5) notched the victory,
throwing seven innings and giving up four runs and six hits. He
struck out nine and did not walk a batter.
Robert got the White Sox started with his 444-foot, two-run shot
to center in the first inning off Angels starter Jaime Barria,
who never was able to find his rhythm.
The Angels tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the first on
back-to-back triples from Ohtani and Mike Trout and an RBI
single by Drury.
The White Sox continued their onslaught on Barria, with Zavala's
first home run in the second inning providing a 3-2 lead, then
scored twice in the third. Jimenez led off with a homer and
Remillard added an RBI double for a 5-2 cushion.
Barria (2-3) was finished after allowing five runs in three
innings, but the White Sox scored three more in the fourth on a
bases-loaded double by Vaughn for an 8-2 lead.
Zavala hit his second homer of the night in the fifth to
increase Chicago's advantage to 9-2.
Trout was replaced in center field by Andrew Velazquez to start
the seventh with the Angels down 9-2. The hosts managed to get
close with solo homers by Drury and Hunter Renfroe in the
seventh and an RBI single by Drury in the eighth, cutting the
White Sox's lead to 9-5.
But the White Sox put the game away in the ninth on Zavala's
two-run single.
