Pittsburgh won for the fourth time in five
games. Chicago has lost five of six.
The White Sox put the first two runners aboard in the eighth but
failed to score. Colin Holderman retired Andrew Vaughn on a
flyout and then got Luis Robert Jr. to ground into a double
play.
David Bednar, activated from the 15-day IL after recovering from
a left oblique strain, pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th
save.
Chicago reliever Jonathan Cannon (1-3) yielded four runs and
seven hits in six innings. He walked two and struck out four.
All-Star left-hander Garrett Crochet started the game for the
White Sox but pitched only two innings as the club monitors his
innings and workload.
Crochet, the major league strikeout leader, fanned four while
retiring all six Pirates he faced. He became only the third
White Sox pitcher to collect 150 strikeouts before the All-Star
break, joining Dylan Cease (2022) and Chris Sale (2015).
Cannon, a rookie coming off tossing six innings of one-run ball
in Miami on Sunday, retired six of the first seven men he faced
before allowing a pair of runs each in the fifth and sixth
innings.
Jared Triolo grounded an RBI single to tie the game at 1 before
Michael A. Taylor gave Pittsburgh the lead for good with a
run-scoring sacrifice fly.
Nick Gonzales (double) and Hayes (single) added to the advantage
with consecutive RBI hits with one out in the sixth. Cannon
escaped further trouble by inducing Joey Bart to ground into a
double play.
Chicago opened the scoring on Robert's RBI single in the third.
Paul DeJong singled twice for the White Sox.
