White Sox top Marlins to end four-game skid

The Chicago White Sox broke a tie game with three runs in the seventh inning and went on to snap a four-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the visiting Miami Marlins on Friday.

Andrew Vaughn hit a solo homer for Chicago, which bounced back after allowing 17 hits in a 10-0 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Cam Booser (1-3) recorded two outs in the seventh inning for the win.

Liam Hicks homered for Miami, which lost for the 10th time in its last 12 games. The Marlins were 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position and left 11 runners on base.

The White Sox broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh, when they sent nine batters to the plate and scored three runs. Josh Rojas hit a leadoff single, moved to third on Lenyn Sosa's double and scored on Brooks Baldwin's sacrifice fly.

After Michael A. Taylor walked to put runners at the corners, Sosa scored on Jacob Amaya's bunt single. Max Meyer then walked Miguel Vargas to load the bases and was replaced by Ronny Henriquez, who walked Matt Thaiss on four pitches to bring in a run.

Chicago added an insurance run in the eighth inning against Cade Gibson when Rojas reached on a fielding error and scampered to second base. Rojas moved to third on Sosa's single and scored on a wild pitch.

Meyer (2-4) yielded five runs on five hits with three walks and five strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings.

Miami took a 1-0 lead in the first inning against Bryse Wilson when Xavier Edwards drew a leadoff walk and stole second base before scoring on Jesus Sanchez's single.

Vaughn tied the game in the second inning with a leadoff homer, his fourth of the season. Meyer struck out the next two batters before Baldwin was hit by a pitch and scored on Taylor's double.

Miami pulled even on Hicks' leadoff homer in the seventh against Caleb Freeman. The 366-foot shot was Hicks' third homer this season and second in as many games.

Wilson allowed one run on three hits over five innings. He walked two and struck out one.
