Winning pitcher Garrett Crochet (2-4) allowed
one run on three hits in six innings. He struck out six batters
and walked nobody.
Steve Wilson, Jordan Leasure and John Brebbia each threw a
scoreless inning to finish out the victory.
Willson Contreras hit a solo homer for the Cardinals, who
mustered just four hits while losing for the fourth time in five
games.
The Cardinals moved Matthew Liberatore from the bullpen to the
starting rotation after Steve Matz landed on the 15-day injured
list with a back strain.
Working with a pitch count, Liberatore allowed one run on three
hits in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out five batters and walked
none.
Reliever Kyle Leahy blanked the White Sox for 2 1/3 innings, but
Giovanny Gallegos (2-1) allowed three runs without retiring a
batter to take the loss.
The White Sox took a 1-0 lead in the second inning. DeJong hit a
double against his former team, moved to third on a wild pitch
and scored on Ramos' sacrifice fly.
Contreras tied the game 1-1 with his homer leading off the
fourth inning. It was his sixth of the season.
The other Cardinals' scoring chance came in the sixth inning
when Brendan Donovan reached on an infield single and took
second base on a two-out wild pitch. But Crochet struck out Paul
Goldschmidt to strand him.
Chicago regained the lead in the seventh inning off Gallegos and
John King. Jimenez led off by hitting his fourth homer of the
season. Gavin Sheets and DeJong followed with doubles to knock
Gallegos out of the game.
DeJong moved to third on Ramos' single off King, then scored on
Braden Shewmake's single to make it 4-1. Robbie Grossman added a
sacrifice fly.
