Lenyn Sosa finished a triple shy of the cycle and collected three RBIs and Andrew Vaughn also homered and drove in three runs to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 9-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night in Phoenix.
Paul DeJong and Korey Lee also homered for Chicago, which won for just the seventh time in 37 road games this season. Vaughn and DeJong each finished with two hits as the White Sox won for the second time in their past three games.
Erick Fedde (5-1) picked up the win, allowing two runs on eight hits over six innings. He struck out six and didn’t walk a batter while throwing a season-high-tying 108 pitches.
Corbin Carroll had two doubles and scored twice, Jake McCarthy had a double among his two hits and Ketel Marte, Eugenio Suarez and Geraldo Perdomo also had two hits apiece for Arizona, which had a two-game winning streak snapped. Thyago Vieira (0-1) allowed two runs on two hits over 2 1/3 innings of relief. He walked one and struck out three.
Arizona, which won Friday night’s series opener 7-1, took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Carroll led off with a double and scored on a single by Marte.
Chicago tied it in the third when Martin Maldonado lined a double to the fence in left-center field, moved to third on a balk by Vieira and scored on a single by Vaughn.
DeJong gave the White Sox a 2-1 lead in the fourth when he led off with his 14th homer of the season, a 411-foot drive into the pool area in right-center.
Vaughn extended the lead to 4-1 in the fifth when he lined a two-run shot off reliever Bryce Jarvis, driving in Tommy Pham, who had walked. The homer was Vaughn’s ninth of 2024.
The Diamondbacks cut the Chicago lead to 4-2 in the bottom of the fifth when Carroll led off with a double, advanced to third on Marte’s bunt single and scored on a sacrifice fly by Joc Pederson.
Sosa then broke the game open in the seventh with a three-run home run off the left field foul pole against reliever Tommy Henry, driving in Luis Robert Jr. and Lee, who had both walked. Lee closed the scoring with his sixth home run of the year in the ninth, a 414-foot two-run drive to left-center.
