Story

In a dramatic finish, the Chicago White Sox ended a four-game losing streak with a 6-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. The highlight of the game came in the ninth inning when Korey Lee delivered a tiebreaking two-run single, contributing to a four-run rally. Luis Robert Jr. and Andrew Benintendi set the stage by drawing walks, followed by Andrew Vaughn's infield single. Despite striking out Gavin Sheets, the White Sox capitalized on the opportunity to secure the win. Robert and Sheets each recorded two hits, while Vaughn added two RBIs, helping the MLB-worst White Sox achieve only their third win in nine games. Fraser Ellard earned the victory after retiring three batters, while Giants starter Logan Webb, who had been in excellent form with a 0.61 ERA over his last four starts, struck out six in eight innings but allowed five hits and two runs. The game began with a strong start for the White Sox, as leadoff hitter Nicky Lopez tripled and scored on Benintendi's groundout. Vaughn's sacrifice fly in the fourth extended the lead to 2-0, but the Giants quickly responded, tying the game with two runs off White Sox starter Garrett Crochet. Crochet pitched four innings, allowing two runs and striking out four. Looking ahead, the White Sox will face the Detroit Tigers on Friday, with RHP Chris Flexen taking the mound. The Giants have yet to announce their starter for the upcoming game against the Mariners in Seattle.
