Yennier Cano (1-1) got three outs for the win on a chilly afternoon, and Ryan Helsley handled the ninth for his fourth save.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander started the eighth-inning rally with a one-out double off Jordan Hicks (0-1). Ward followed with another double, tying it at 2.<\/p>\n<p>White Sox manager Will Venable then brought in left-hander Chris Murphy to face Henderson, a lefty batter. Henderson responded with his fourth homer, a line drive that hit the top of the wall in right-center on its way to the seats.<\/p>\n<p>Henderson also connected during Monday night&#8217;s 2-1 victory at Chicago, stopping a three-game slide for Baltimore. The Orioles are 23-5 against the White Sox since the 2022 season.<\/p>\n<p>Chase Meidroth had two hits for Chicago, which dropped to 3-2 on a six-game homestand. Shane Smith struck out eight and walked five in 3 2\/3 scoreless innings in his third start of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago jumped in front with a two-out rally in the third. Derek Hill singled and scored on Meidroth&#8217;s double, a liner to left that landed in front of a tumbling Ward. Lenyn Sosa added a run-scoring single to center for a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore got one back on pinch hitter Ryan Mountcastle&#8217;s grounder to shortstop in the fifth, driving in Samuel Basallo from third. But Sean Newcomb limited the damage by striking out Coby Mayo swinging, stranding a runner on second.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Bradish (0-2, 6.23 ERA) starts for Baltimore on Wednesday, and fellow right-hander Sean Burke (0-1, 3.60 ERA) pitches for Chicago in the finale of the three-game series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Gunnar Henderson hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in Baltimore&#8217;s three-run eighth inning, and the Orioles&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":669238,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2374],"tags":[143,47,2538,5,30643,138,14167,583,8220,916,204,1510,6646,4,125,47890,9500,9501,9496,9497,39139,15187,109,1359,7326,2003,751,3399,591,998,4962],"class_list":{"0":"post-669237","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-orioles","8":"tag-baltimore","9":"tag-baltimore-orioles","10":"tag-baltimoreorioles","11":"tag-baseball","12":"tag-blaze-alexander","13":"tag-chicago","14":"tag-chris-murphy","15":"tag-coby-mayo","16":"tag-derek-hill","17":"tag-gunnar-henderson","18":"tag-jordan-hicks","19":"tag-kyle-bradish","20":"tag-lenyn-sosa","21":"tag-mlb","22":"tag-orioles","23":"tag-orioles-white-sox-score","24":"tag-package-100024-ap-online","25":"tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","26":"tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","27":"tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","28":"tag-product-40779-ap-delaware-maryland-sports-only","29":"tag-product-40784-ap-illinois-sports-only","30":"tag-ryan-helsley","31":"tag-ryan-mountcastle","32":"tag-samuel-basallo","33":"tag-sean-burke","34":"tag-sean-newcomb","35":"tag-shane-smith","36":"tag-tyler-oneill","37":"tag-will-venable","38":"tag-yennier-cano"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=669237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/669238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=669237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=669237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=669237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
