Summary

  • A seven-run third inning turned a 1-1 game into a 9-3 White Sox win at Camden Yards, clinching Chicago's second straight victory there and its first road series win since early May.
  • Colson Montgomery's two-run homer started the burst, Junior Pérez's three-run shot capped it, and Baltimore rookie Trey Gibson exited in the third after allowing eight runs.
  • Erick Fedde worked 5 2/3 innings for the win despite late trouble, and Tyler Schweitzer covered the final four innings for the White Sox's first four-inning save since 2002.
  • The victory gave Chicago a 13-12 June for its second straight winning month and pushed its AL Central lead to two games after Cleveland lost 4-2 to Texas.
