Paul Sewald struggled in the ninth inning, walking two batters before Andrew Benintendi's three-run homer gave the Chicago White Sox a 4-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. The Diamondbacks had led earlier but could not hold on in the series finale. Sewald took the loss after a solid season so far.
The Diamondbacks grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Ketel Marte reached on an infield single and scored on Adrian Del Castillo's two-out double. Chicago tied the game in the third on Miguel Vargas's RBI single, though poor baserunning limited further damage against Arizona starter Michael Soroka, who allowed one run over five innings. White Sox starter Chris Martin was sharp, giving up just one run in 6 1/3 innings, as Arizona manager Torey Lovullo noted afterward: 'We really couldn't solve the puzzle with their starting pitcher. He had real good stuff.'
