Starter Mart e9n P e9rez worked six innings, allowing two runs on five hits with seven strikeouts and two walks. Mike Tauchman made a leaping catch at the wall to rob Giancarlo Stanton of a potential two-run homer. The win snapped a five-game losing streak and earned praise from manager Will Venable.
CHICAGO - Lenyn Sosa entered his eighth inning at-bat against Tim Hill with the approach of "just stay calm." "My main thought was just to take advantage of a good pitch," Sosa said through an interpreter, "and I was able to do that." Sosa hit a tiebreaking solo home run to center, helping to propel the Chicago White Sox to a 3-2 victory against the New York Yankees on Sunday in front of 27,810 at Rate Field. "Very exciting, emotional to be able to hit a homer against a team like them in that situation," Sosa said. "I'm very excited about it."
"It was a different lineup, made me work a little bit more," P e9rez said. "I missed my spot against (Aaron) Judge and he hit a (solo) homer (in the first inning). But we got the win and that's most important for me." Manager Will Venable said P e9rez was in "total control." "(He's) pounding the strike zone," Venable said. "It's the north-south game, the east-west, attacking hitters. Just another great job."
