The White Sox went ahead to stay with three runs in the seventh. Brooks Baldwin hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly against Max Meyer. Jacob Amaya added an RBI single, and Matt Thaiss drew a bases-loaded walk against Ronny Henriquez.

Liam Hicks hit a solo homer for Miami in its 10th loss in 12 games. Meyer (2-4) was charged with five runs and five hits in 6 1/3 innings.

Cam Booser (1-3), the third of five Chicago relievers, got his first win with the club. Bryse Wilson pitched five innings of one-run ball.

The White Sox were coming off an embarrassing four-game sweep at Kansas City, when they scored a total of four runs.

Josh Rojas scored on Cade Gibson’s wild pitch in the eighth, giving Chicago a 6-2 lead.

The White Sox drew just one walk through the first six innings but earned three during the decisive seventh.

Brett Baty and Jeff McNeil went deep in the second while Juan Soto homered in the fourth to help the Mets improve to 14-3 at Citi Field. Soto added an RBI single in the eighth.
