Chicago rookie right-hander Jonathan Cannon
surrendered Soto's first two long balls en route to losing for
the fourth time in his past six starts. Fraser Ellard yielded
the third homer.
Cannon (2-6) allowed three runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings.
He walked three, hit one batter and struck out four.
One night after thumping the Yankees 12-2 behind a season-high
totals in runs and hits (18), the White Sox struggled to mount
an attack Tuesday. Cortes (6-10) limited them to three hits and
no walks while striking out nine.
Mark Leiter Jr. issued two walks before Luis Robert Jr. hit an
RBI single with two outs in the eighth to draw Chicago within
the final margin. Tommy Kahnle recorded the last out of the
eighth but left after allowing a walk and a double to start the
ninth.
Jake Cousins, working around a one-out walk that loaded the
bases, picked up his first career save. He fanned Brooks Baldwin
to end the game.
Cortes retired the first 11 batters he faced, including six by
strikeout, before Andrew Benintendi singled with two outs in the
fourth.
Baldwin doubled to lead off the sixth and advanced to third on a
sacrifice bunt, but the White Sox couldn't score. Robert struck
out swinging before Benintendi flied out to center.
Cortes has beaten the White Sox twice this season, allowing one
run (which was unearned) in 14 combined innings.
Aaron Judge had two hits for the Yankees.
New York defeated Chicago for the fourth time in five tries to
clinch the season series with one game left.
The White Sox have lost 21 of 23 since the All-Star break.
