Wesneski allowed one hit with five strikeouts over seven shutout
innings. He has allowed one run and five hits over his last
three starts, a span of 17 innings. A.J. Blubaugh (5-2) gave up
two hits in the eighth before Josh Hader pitched the ninth for
his 22nd save.
Wesneski retired 14 of the last 15 batters he faced, including
12 straight between a one-out walk to Sam Antonacci in the third
and a one-out walk to Braden Montgomery in the seventh.
Davis Martin scattered five hits with three strikeouts over 5
2/3 scoreless innings in his first start since Aug. 13. Martin,
who had been on the 15-day injured list with a right middle
finger blister, was activated before the game.
The White Sox had several chances to score in the eighth, but
came up empty. Tristan Peters hit a leadoff triple, but was
thrown out at home two batters later while trying to score on a
groundout by Antonacci to shortstop Jeremy Peña. Munetaka
Murakami singled to load the bases with one out, but Miguel
Vargas grounded into a double play to end the inning.
