In the bottom of the ninth, Luis Robert Jr. was hit by a 101.1 mph fastball from Cubs closer Daniel Palencia. Sosa stepped to the plate representing the winning run, but he grounded into a fielder’s choice to end the game.
TOP PERFORMERS: Lenyn Sosa has a .264 batting average to lead the White Sox, and has 16 doubles, a triple and nine home runs. Chase Meidroth is 14 for 46 with a home run and four RBIs over the last 10 games.
