White Sox Win Thriller, 4-2
The Chicago White Sox had to overcome a fine effort from Kansas City pitcher Max Scherzer to win, 4-2, at Guaranteed Rate Field. Scherzer went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. Joe Jimenez picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 4-1. Jhoan Duran suffered the loss. With the victory, the White Sox upped their record to 56-53.

Chicago got a knockout punch from Jake Burger. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Chicago skipper Bobby G.
