The last-place White Sox need two more wins to
match their total from all of last year, when they went 41-121
to break the modern major league record for most losses in a
season.
Bryce Harper had two hits and two RBIs for Philadelphia, which
dropped to 2-2 on a six-game trip. Kyle Schwarber walked three
times, and Brandon Marsh finished with two hits.
Sánchez (9-3) allowed four runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings
in his first loss since June 8. The wiry left-hander went 4-0
with a 1.40 ERA in his previous seven starts.
Sánchez was staked to a 2-0 lead on Harper's two-run double in
the third inning. But Montgomery responded with a two-run drive
in the bottom half.
Montgomery's 395-foot shot to right was the rookie's fourth
homer in his last six games. It also was the first homer for a
lefty batter off Sánchez this season.
Robert made it 4-2 with his 11th homer, another two-run shot
that drifted over the wall in right in the fourth. The center
fielder went 1 for 4 with two strikeouts a day after he was hit
by a 101.1 mph fastball in the ninth inning of a 5-4 loss to the
Cubs.
Martin (3-8) struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings in his first win
since May 14.
Key moment
The White Sox tacked on two runs in the eighth on singles by
Sosa and Montgomery.
Key stat
The Phillies struck out 11 times.
Up next
Phillies left-hander Jesús Luzardo (8-5, 4.58 ERA) starts on
Tuesday night, and right-hander Jonathan Cannon (4-7, 4.48 ERA)
takes the mound for the White Sox.
