the Mets
CHICAGO (AP) --- Tristan Peters homered with one out in the ninth inning to
give the Chicago White Sox a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday.
After the Mets tied it in the top of the inning, Peters drove a pitch from
Kodai Senga (0-9) 406 feet into the center-field seats to seal Chicago's 11th
walk-off victory this season --- and second of the series. It was Peters' third
walk-off hit of the season.
Andrew Benintendi drove in the other run with a double and Chicago's bullpen
allowed one run in seven innings.
Benintendi gave Chicago a 1-0 lead in the eighth with a double that scored
Miguel Vargas. Jared Young answered right back in the top of the ninth inning,
tying the game with a single.
Despite allowing the tying run, Grant Taylor (6-2) worked a two-hit ninth,
fanning two batters for the win. Sean Newcomb, Erick Fedde and Hagen Smith
allowed a combined five hits over the first eight innings while striking out
eight.
Mets starter Nolan McLean worked six scoreless innings, allowing one hit and
picking up six strikeouts.
Up next White Sox: Yet to announce a starter for the series opener against the Rangers on Monday. Mets: LHP Zac Thornton (3-4, 3.04 ERA) starts Game 1 against the Brewers on Tuesday. ___ See AP's full MLB coverage here |
