MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jackson Chourio hit a three-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers extended Chicago’s slide to a season-high 11 games Sunday with a 6-3 victory over the White Sox.
Gary Sánchez had a two-run single and left fielder Christian Yelich threw out the potential tying run at the plate in the eighth inning as the NL Central leaders completed a three-game sweep. Milwaukee (36-23) has won a season-high five in a row and eight of 10 to move a season-best 13 games above .500.
“We’re a work in progress, for sure,” manager Pat Murphy said. “Guys are getting comfortable in their roles. We’re set up now to understand how the season is going to be.”
Chicago has dropped 15 of 16 and owns the worst record in the majors at 15-45. Paul DeJong homered and drove in two runs for the White Sox, who are on the longest losing streak in the big leagues this year.
