Friday, June 14, 2019

(CHICAGO) - White Sox manager Rick Renteria thought his team had a lot of good at-bats Thursday night. The biggest and best one belonged to Leury Garcia, who hit a tiebreaking solo homer off Adam Ottavino in the seventh inning, lifting Chicago to a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees. Garcia looked at two called strikes from Ottavino before battling back and sending the 11th pitch he saw over the wall in right-center for his fourth homer . It was the first time Ottavino (2-2) allowed homers in consecutive appearances in almost two years. Tim Anderson also connected during Chicago's fourth win in five games, and four relievers combined for 3 1/3 innings of three-hit ball. Batting in the top two slots in the lineup, Garcia and Anderson combined for four hits and five RBI. Evan Marshall (2-0) got three outs for the win, and Aaron Bummer worked the ninth for his first career save. Brett Gardner homered for the Yankees, who have dropped seven of 10. Clint Frazier finished with three hits.
