CHICAGO (AP) — Tristan Peters hit a two-run double off
Jacob deGrom during Chicago's six-run first inning, and the White Sox
held off the Texas Rangers 11-7 on Tuesday night.
Peters also went deep in the sixth, extending his career-high homer
streak to four games. The All-Star outfielder had three of Chicago's 14
hits and walked twice. |

Brenton Doyle added two hits and two RBIs as the AL
Central-leading White Sox (69-63) improved to 3-3 on a
seven-game homestand.
Texas had won four of five, including an 11-2 victory over
Chicago on Monday night. The Rangers (66-67) dropped into second
in the sluggish AL West, a half-game back of Houston.
Jake Burger, Danny Jansen and Justin Foscue homered for Texas.
The Rangers loaded the bases with two out in the ninth. Grant
Taylor came in and earned his eighth save when Cody Freeman
bounced into a fielder's choice.
DeGrom (9-9) was charged with eight runs and six hits in 3 2/3
innings. The two-time Cy Young Award winner issued five walks
and struck out a season-low two.
The eight earned runs were the most allowed by deGrom since
joining the Rangers and matched his career high.
Peters' broken-bat liner to right drove in Miguel Vargas and
Braden Montgomery, giving Chicago a 4-0 lead. Doyle followed
with a two-run single.
DeGrom has surrendered 26 runs in the first inning over his 25
starts this season and 61 runs overall.
Texas closed within 10-7 on Foscue's ninth homer, a two-run
drive to left in the sixth. Peters responded with a solo shot in
the bottom half for his 11th career homer — all this season.
White Sox left-hander Anthony Kay allowed four runs and six hits
in 4 2/3 innings. Bryan Hudson (4-4) got four outs for the win.
Up next
Left-hander MacKenzie Gore (7-9, 4.26 ERA) pitches for Texas in
the series finale on Wednesday night. Right-hander Sean Burke
(7-6, 3.27) starts for Chicago.
