Colson Montgomery lined a walkoff single to center field in the 10th inning and Austin Hays had two hits as the Chicago White Sox defeated the visiting Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Wednesday to finish off a three-game sweep.
Vaughn Grissom hit a go-ahead solo home run in the seventh inning and Mike Trout also homered for the Angels, who have lost six straight and 10 of 11.
Four Angels relievers kept the team afloat after starter Yusei Kikuchi sustained an early injury, contributing a combined seven innings of four-hit, two-run ball before extra innings.
Ryan Zeferjahn was one out away from a two-inning save when Sam Antonacci tripled to right field to tie the game in the ninth.
Kikuchi walked Chase Meidroth to lead off the game and worked around singles in each of the first two innings. He had one strikeout while throwing 35 pitches.
The left-hander was removed due to tightness in his throwing shoulder before delivering a pitch in the third inning. He went to the mound to warm up before a team trainer soon followed.
White Sox right-hander Erick Fedde pitched seven sharp innings, striking out a season-high six against zero walks. He scattered five hits but proved susceptible to the long ball, yielding home runs to Grissom and Trout.
Chicago wasted little time against Mitch Farris, who replaced Kikuchi. Meidroth greeted him with a double and advanced to third on a wild pitch before scoring on Miguel Vargas’ RBI single in the third.
Munetaka Murakami followed with a walk to put two runners on with no outs, but Farris escaped further trouble as Hays grounded into a double play and Montgomery flied to left field.
Fedde retired the first eight Angels batters before Adam Frazier doubled with two outs in the third. Trout tied the game with a leadoff homer in the fourth, his club-leading 10th long ball of the season.
Grissom put Los Angeles ahead in the seventh, reaching Fedde for a solo homer with two outs.
Seranthony Dominguez (2-3) worked a scoreless 10th, stranding the automatic runner at third base.
Drew Pomeranz (0-3) allowed one hit and an unearned run in 1/3 of an inning while walking two.
