CHICAGO (AP) — Tristan Peters homered with one out in the ninth inning to give the Chicago White Sox a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday.
After the Mets tied it in the top of the inning, Peters drove a pitch from Kodai Senga (0-9) 406 feet into the center-field seats to seal Chicago’s 11th walk-off victory this season — and second of the series. It was Peters’ third walk-off hit of the season.
Andrew Benintendi drove in the other run with
a double and Chicago bullpen allowed one run in seven innings.
Benintendi gave Chicago a 1-0 lead in the eighth with a double that plated Miguel Vargas. Jared Young answered right back in the top of the ninth inning, tying the game with a single.
Despite allowing the tying run, Grant Taylor (6-2) worked a two-hit ninth, fanning two batters for the win. Sean Newcomb, Erick Fedde and Hagen Smith allowed a combined five hits over the first eight innings while striking out eight.
Mets starter Nolan McLean worked six scoreless innings, allowing one hit and picking up six strikeouts.
White Sox: Yet to announce a starter for the series opener against the Rangers on Monday.
Mets: LHP Zac Thornton (3-4, 3.04 ERA) starts game one against the Brewers on Tuesday.
