ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Andrew Benintendi had a double and a home run, Lenyn Sosa also homered among his two hits, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-3 on Friday night.<\/p>\n

White Sox starter Shane Smith gave up two runs and two hits while striking out four over 4 1\/3 innings in his first start since July 11 following a stint on the 15-day IL<\/a>. Jordan Leasure (4-6) earned the win in relief, striking out four in 1 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

Benintendi<\/a> and Sosa<\/a> each hit solo home runs in the second inning off Angels starter Tyler Anderson (2-7), and Luis Robert Jr. had a sacrifice fly drove Miguel Vargas home in the fourth inning to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n

Gustavo Campero’s second home run of the year, a two-run blast to deep center field<\/a> in the fifth, got the Angels within one, but Colson Montgomery answered<\/a> with a deep homer of his own in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n

Logan O’Hoppe scored on Zach Neto’s sacrifice fly to bring the Angels within one again, and Nolan Schanuel appeared to drive in Travis D’Arnaud with a two-out single, but Campero was thrown out at third prior to D’Arnaud crossing the plate.<\/p>\n

Sosa had an RBI single in the eighth and Josh Rojas added a solo homer in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Steven Wilson got the last six outs for his second save of the year.<\/p>\n

Key moment<\/p>\n

Campero’s baserunning error prevented the game-tying run from scoring in the seventh, ending what was a bases-loaded, one-out threat for the Angels.<\/p>\n

Key stat<\/p>\n

Montgomery continued his second-half tear with a solo home run, which represented his 18th RBI since the All-Star break. He is now tied with Philadelphia’s Kyle Schwarber for the most RBIs since the break.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

White Sox RHP Aaron Civale (2-6, 4.38 ERA) starts opposite Angels RHP Kyle Hendricks (6-7, 4.73).<\/p>\n
