Luis Robert Jr. capped a three-run third with
an RBI single. He also took third when right fielder Adolis
García dropped his fly ball leading off the sixth and scored on
Joshua Palacios’ single against Caleb Boushley, making it 4-1.
In a game between teams that came in with the two lowest batting
averages and scoring totals in the American League, that was
more than enough.
Burke allowed one run. The 25-year-old right-hander struck out
six and walked three.
Cam Booser and Jordan Leasure each worked an inning. Steven
Wilson pitched the ninth for his first save and the White Sox
stopped an 11-game losing streak against Texas.
Mahle lasted five innings, allowing a season-high three runs and
five hits.
Jake Burger cut it to 3-1 with a two-out double in the sixth,
but the Rangers continued to struggle at the plate after getting
outscored a combined 10-5 by the New York Yankees the previous
three games.
Key moment
After holding opponents to two runs or less in each of his first
10 starts, Mahle fell behind 3-0 in the third.
He gave up singles to Lenyn Sosa and Josh Rojas leading off
before issuing one-out walks to Mike Tauchman and Miguel Vargas,
forcing in the first run. Andrew Benintendi hit a sacrifice fly
and Robert added an RBI bloop single.
Key stat
The White Sox beat the Rangers for the first time since a 7-6
victory on June 20, 2023, in Chicago.
Up next
Rookie RHP Jack Leiter (3-2, 4.25 ERA) starts for Texas and RHP
Jonathan Cannon (2-5, 3.76) gets the ball for Chicago.
