Despite outhitting Arizona 8-4, Chicago lost
for the fifth time in seven games to fall to 60-98. The White
Sox must win three of their four remaining games to avoid the
franchise's first 100-loss season since 2018 -- currently the
club's only such campaign since 1971.
Arizona has won 10 straight games against Chicago dating to
2014, the longest streak against an American League opponent in
franchise history.
A three-run third inning Wednesday propelled the Diamondbacks to
their latest victory in the interleague series. After retiring
the first seven Arizona hitters, White Sox starter Luis Patino
allowed five straight baserunners while uncorking a wild pitch,
leading to three Diamondbacks runs.
Carroll's two-run double put Arizona on the board, and Tommy
Pham singled two batters later to drive home Ketel Marte, who
reached on a walk.
The support proved plenty for Pfaadt (3-8), who won for the
second time in three starts after spacing five hits and eight
strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.
Luis Frias, Andrew Saalfrank, Ryan Thompson and Paul Sewald
followed with 3 1/3 innings of three-hit, six-strikeout relief.
Sewald earned his 34th save to complete Arizona's second shutout
in Chicago this month. The Diamondbacks blanked the host Cubs
1-0 on Sept. 8.
Eloy Jimenez, Andrew Vaughn and Lenyn Sosa doubled for the White
Sox. Trayce Thompson, Jimenez and Sosa each had two hits.
Chicago was 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and left
nine on base.
Patino (0-1) scattered three runs and three hits in 2 1/3
innings, with two walks and three strikeouts.
Arizona's Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was scratched from the lineup with
left shoulder discomfort.
