""My main thought was just to take advantage of a good pitch," Sosa said through an interpreter, "and I was able to do that.""
""You see teams like (the Yankees) and they have difference-makers and guys who put the ball in the seat," Montgomery said. "We have guys who can do that, too. We've seen in the second half of the season we are putting the ball in the seats a lot more. "They are momentum-changers and get the guys going. We've been doing that recently.""
""(He's) pounding the strike zone," Venable said. "It's the north-south game, the east-west, attacking hitters. Just another great job.""
Lenyn Sosa stayed calm and hit a tiebreaking solo home run to center in the eighth inning, giving the Chicago White Sox a 3-2 victory over the New York Yankees. Colson Montgomery tied the game in the sixth with his 15th homer, and Sosa's was his team-leading 18th. Mike Tauchman robbed Giancarlo Stanton of a potential two-run homer, aiding starter Martín Pérez. Pérez allowed two runs on five hits with seven strikeouts and two walks across six innings while manager Will Venable praised his command and pitching approach. The win snapped a five-game skid and highlighted the club's increased power production.
