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.
