White Sox keep rallying, beat Reds in 12

The White Sox won for the second time in six games. The Reds lost for just the
fourth time in their last 16 games.

The White Sox appeared well on their way to a lopsided loss when starting
pitcher Lucas Giolito gave up four runs before recording an out in the first
inning and again when they fell behind 7-2 in the fifth.

But Avisail Garcia and Daniel Palka, who each finished with two homers, went
back-to-back in the sixth to spark a four-run inning.

The White Sox completed their first comeback on Leury Garcia's pinch-hit RBI
single in the top of the eighth before the Reds used small ball to go ahead in
the bottom of the inning, when Billy Hamilton singled, went to second on a
bunt, stole third and scored on Scooter Gennett's groundout.

Avisail Garcia once again pulled the White Sox even in the ninth by homering
with one out. The two teams traded zeroes until the 12th, when Chicago loaded
the bases with none out against Jackson Stephens (2-1), the Reds' eighth
pitcher, via a walk and errors by Gennett at second and Eugenio Suarez at
third.

With one out, Moncada tripled to deep right field. Yolmer Sanchez tripled four
pitches later, when Brandon Dixon momentarily caught the ball as he crashed
into the fence but lost the ball when his glove popped off due to the impact.

Hector Santiago (3-3), the sixth White Sox pitcher, earned the win by
recording all six outs via strikeout over two hitless innings.

Palka opened the scoring for the White Sox with a two-run homer in the fourth
while Matt Davidson (double) and Adam Engel (groundout) had an RBI apiece in
the sixth after the back-to-back home runs. Moncada and Avisail Garcia had
three hits each.

Gennett and Suarez each hit two-run homers in the first inning for the Reds,
who later extended their lead to five runs on Adam Duvall's three-run shot in
the fifth. Jose Peraza and Jesse Winker had two hits apiece.

Giolito recovered from the rough start to last five innings, allowing seven
runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three. Reds starter
Anthony DeSclafani gave up five runs on six hits and one walk while striking
out five over 5 1/3 innings.
