Game Summary
Chicago White Sox defeated St. Louis Cardinals 6-5. The White Sox won by rallying late and relying on timely hitting, most notably Randal Grichuk’s two-run homer in the top of the ninth that broke a 5-4 deficit and provided the final margin. Chicago’s comeback was built after a three-run hole early — Masyn Winn’s second-inning two-run double and a sacrifice fly put St. Louis up 3-0 — and a productive fifth inning that tied the game. Nathan Church went 3-for-4 with a run-scoring double, Tristan Peters delivered an RBI single, and strong work from the middle relief (Kyle Leahy’s three scoreless innings and Hagen Smith’s two scoreless frames) set up Jordan Hicks’ win and Bryan Hudson’s save.
