He struck out three and walked one.<\/p>\n<p>Wacha went 7 2\/3 strong innings and allowed a run on six hits. He fanned seven with a walk.<\/p>\n<p>The ninth matchup between the American League Central rivals this season started much tamer than Friday\u2019s series opener, when the home side scored 10 runs in the third inning and zipped away to a 22-1 decimation.<\/p>\n<p>Martin had to bear down in the second when Massey and Salvador Perez produced one-out hits and advanced to second and third. Yet the right-hander whiffed John Rave and Nick Loftin to end the threat.<\/p>\n<p>After Chicago managed a season-high 23 hits the night before, Wacha silenced the home bats through the first three innings as the White Sox only reached base on fielding errors by Witt and Jac Caglianone.<\/p>\n<p>Witt\u2019s one-out double in the sixth chased Martin from the matchup, but Sean Newcomb retired Caglianone and Lane Thomas to keep it scoreless.<\/p>\n<p>Following Massey\u2019s leadoff bunt single, Tyler Tolbert entered as a pinch runner and promptly stole second and third. Newcomb\u2019s strikeout of Perez and his dazzling glove flip to get Tolbert at home gave the White Sox a chance to get out unscathed.<\/p>\n<p>However, Carter Jensen ripped a 2-0 pitch to score Starling Marte, but right fielder Braden Montgomery\u2019s strong throw home helped put out Loftin between third and home.<\/p>\n<p>Braden Montgomery contributed at the plate in the seventh with a fielder\u2019s choice that scored pinch runner Luisangel Acuna to tie it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.newstribune.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacob Gonzalez delivered a one-out, walk-off single as the Chicago White Sox claimed their franchise-record 10th straight home series with a 2-1 victory Saturday afternoon against the Kansas City Royals.
