Andrew Benintendi and Gavin Sheets each drove
in two runs for Chicago, which lost for the sixth time in a
seven-game stretch. Starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (0-3) was
charged with five runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Rodriguez (5-1) dodged trouble while issuing five walks and
allowing three hits and two runs. He was in line to win
Saturday's game vs. Seattle when he came off the injured list
and allowed just one hit in six shutout innings, but he ended up
with a no-decision.
On Thursday, the White Sox scored two runs and had the bases
loaded with no outs in the ninth before Sheets' two-run single
cut the gap to 8-6. Reliever Craig Kimbrel got a game-ending
double play for his 10th save when Benintendi popped out and
baserunner Andrew Vaughn was ruled out for interference.
Baltimore's batters broke out of the doldrums by racking up 13
hits to go with six walks. Mateo's third homer of the year came
as part of Baltimore's four-run fourth inning, when the Orioles
took the lead for good.
The White Sox loaded the bases with one out in the first inning
and scored on Benintendi's two-out walk. It was just the third
RBI in 18 games for Benintendi, who added another two innings
later.
Baltimore loaded the bases with one out in the third, and
Rutschman's single tied the score. The threat was halted when
Ryan O'Hearn grounded into a double play.
Benintendi's two-out single put the White Sox back ahead in the
third before Santander's eighth homer of the season, leading off
the fourth, knotted the score again. Mateo then hit his
three-run homer later in the inning.
Rutschman added a two-run single in the sixth, and Austin Hays
drove in another run with a single later in the inning to make
it 8-2.
Tommy Pham finished with three of Chicago's seven hits.
