Right-hander Will Vest (1-0) earned his first major-league victory.

Right-hander Matt Foster (0-1) replaced starter Dallas Keuchel but was unable to get out of the inning.
Tom Murphy singled on a sharp grounder off the glove of third baseman Jake Lamb to load the bases. Rookie Taylor Trammell lined a run-scoring single to right, as did J.P. Crawford an out later to make it 4-3.
Mitch Haniger’s sacrifice fly to right tied the score and Ty France walked to re-load the bases. Seager lined a 96-mph fastball down the left-field line to clear the bases. Marmolejos lined a single to right to score Seager with the final run of the inning.
Keuchel allowed three runs on four hits in five-plus innings, with three walks and three strikeouts.

A double steal put runners at second and third before Lamb walked to load the bases. After Jose Abreu popped out, Dunn walked Yasmani Grandal to bring home a run and tie the score at 1.
Vest was summoned from the bullpen and Zack Collins greeted him by grounding the first pitch into left field for a two-run single.
The White Sox added a run in the sixth as Nick Madrigal led off with a double and scored on Danny Mendick’s one-out single.
