Nicky Lopez, Andrew Vaughn and Dominic Fletcher
delivered the homers as the majors-worst White Sox (32-109)
halted a 12-game losing streak.
Lopez went 3-for-4 with a walk, Lenyn Sosa posted three hits and
knocked in two runs, and teammates Gavin Sheets, Luis Robert Jr.
and Vaughn all added two hits.
Cannon (3-9) worked 5 2/3 innings, shedding a personal skid of
losses in four straight starts and winning for the first time
since Aug. 6. He held Baltimore, which had amassed a total of 22
runs in the first two games of the series, to one run on five
hits. Cannon struck out four and walked one.
Fraser Ellard, Gus Varland and Justin Anderson worked in relief
for Chicago, which won for the first time in seven meetings with
the Orioles (81-60) this year.
Baltimore lost for just the second time in its last six games as
it's locked in a tight race with the New York Yankees atop the
American League East. Gunnar Henderson homered and had three of
the Orioles' seven hits, while Cedric Mullins notched two
singles.
Orioles starter Albert Suarez (7-5) was tagged for six runs and
eight hits in 4 1/3 innings. Baltimore, which is off Thursday,
tapped into five relievers to get through the latter portion of
the game.
Both teams had lead-off home runs in the first inning.
Lopez hit his first of the season for the White Sox. Henderson
countered with his 35th for Baltimore.
It was just the seventh career homer for Lopez, a shortstop who
broke into the big leagues in 2019. The long ball was his second
since 2021.
Vaughn's 16th homer and Fletcher's first homer - a two-run shot
- came in the fourth. Fletcher, a second-year big leaguer, has
three career homers.
Robert's second hit of the game was a run-scoring double in the
fifth and Sosa delivered a sacrifice fly later in the inning to
push the White Sox to a 6-1 lead.
