Freddie Freeman and Miguel Rojas had two hits
apiece for the Dodgers, who have won six of their past eight
games. Los Angeles is 23-0 this season when Rojas records a hit.
Luis Robert Jr. doubled and walked twice for Chicago, which lost
for the fifth time in its past six games.
The Dodgers broke a scoreless tie in the seventh inning against
Steven Wilson (1-5). Rojas hit a leadoff double, advanced to
third on Gavin Lux's groundout and scored on Enrique Hernandez's
double.
Chris Taylor followed with a grounder to shortstop Paul DeJong,
whose errant throw to first allowed Hernandez to score.
Wilson was replaced by Tanner Banks, who retired Jason Heyward
and walked Shohei Ohtani before the game was delayed for 30
minutes due to rain.
When play resumed, Justin Anderson walked Will Smith to load the
bases, but the White Sox averted further damage when Freeman
flied out to left field.
The game's early innings featured a pitchers' duel between
Paxton and Chicago's Garrett Crochet.
Crochet, who entered Monday with a 1.68 ERA in his past 10
starts, allowed five hits and no walks while striking out six
over 5 2/3 scoreless innings.
Paxton gave up three hits over five innings. He walked three and
struck out six while throwing 91 pitches.
Paxton has yielded a total of two runs across 18 innings over
his past three starts.
The Dodgers hit into a pair of double plays against Crochet, who
threw 91 pitches and was pulled after retiring the first two
batters of the sixth inning.
Los Angeles added an insurance run in the ninth inning against
Michael Kopech when Taylor scored on Ohtani's sacrifice fly.
