BALTIMORE (AP) — Colson Montgomery and Junior Perez
homered during Chicago's seven-run third inning and the White Sox
pounded the Baltimore Orioles 9-3 on Tuesday night.
Erick Fedde (3-6) allowed three runs in five innings for Chicago, which
extended its lead atop the AL Central to two games over Cleveland. Tyler
Schweitzer worked the final four innings for his first career save. |

Orioles starter Trey Gibson (1-3) yielded eight runs, seven hits
and six walks in 2 2/3 innings. He struck out five.
Chicago went 13-12 in June, making this the first time the White
Sox have managed back-to-back winning months since 2021. They
had a winning record in every month that year.
The game was tied at 1 entering the third, and then the first
seven Chicago batters came around to score. After a single by
Andrew Benintendi, Montgomery connected for this 21st homer of
the year, a 440-foot shot to right-center.
Two walks later, Tristan Peters blooped a single to load the
bases. Jacob Gonzalez followed with a two-run single, and then
Perez's 409-foot three-run homer made it 8-1.
Benintendi opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first,
and Baltimore tied it in the bottom of that inning on Samuel
Basallo's single.
Gonzalez doubled home a run in the fourth to make it 9-1. The
Orioles scored twice in the fifth on an RBI double by Dylan
Beavers and a run-scoring single by Pete Alonso.
Benintendi and Gonzalez finished with three hits apiece.
