Osvaldo Bido (2-1) tossed 5 2/3 innings for the
win, allowing one run and five hits with one walk. Mason Miller
struck out the side in the ninth for his fifth save in five
chances.
Brooks Baldwin’s homer in the third put the White Sox ahead 1-0,
but Chicago has lost three in a row and 11 of 13.
White Sox starter Jonathan Cannon pitched 4 1/3 scoreless
innings, allowing three hits and walking two while striking out
four. He was replaced after 88 pitches by Tyler Gilbert (1-1),
who took the loss.
Baldwin narrowly missed going deep again in the fourth with two
runners on when Bleday caught his drive at the right-center
wall.
Bleday tied it in the sixth with an RBI single off Gilbert.
Jordan Leasure replaced Gilbert and walked Miguel Andujar to put
runners at first and second. Luis Urías flied out before Urshela
lined his two-out triple to the right-center wall.
Key moment
Chicago loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh against
José Leclerc. Tyler Ferguson entered and got Luis Robert Jr. to
ground out, then pitched a scoreless eighth.
Key stat
White Sox rookie infielder Chase Meidroth singled and has
reached base in his first five major league games.
Up next
Athletics left-hander JP Sears (1-2, 4.24 ERA) starts against
RHP Davis Martin (1-1, 4.42) in the series finale Thursday.
