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.
