John Lackey snapped a five-game losing streak with a sharp six-inning effort while reliever Aroldis Chapman picked up his first Chicago Cubs save in a 3-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.
Lackey out-duelled White Sox ace Chris Sale and picked up his first win since June 8 to end an eight-game run that included three no-decisions. Sale was pitching for the first time since he was suspended for an outburst which included destroying team uniforms Saturday.
Ben Zobrist went 2-for-4 and singled home Dexter Fowler with the go-ahead run in the third inning. Zobrist doubled in the eighth, reached third on an error and scored on Addison Russell’s fielder’s choice grounder to shortstop off reliever Nate Jones.
The Cubs won their second straight while the White Sox dropped their second in a row.
Moreland lifts Texas to 3-2 win
Mitch Moreland hit a pair of solo homers, lifting Texas over Kansas City in support of Cole Hamels.
Moreland’s second homer — a solo shot off Yordano Ventura — snapped a 2-2 tie with one out in the eighth inning and was just the fourth hit allowed by the Kansas City right-hander.
That proved to be enough for Hamels, who set a season high with 12 strikeouts in his eight-inning outing. Hamels allowed two runs on six hits and walked just one while throwing 123 pitches. Sam Dyson closed out the Royals for his 21st save.
Dahl edges out Mets
David Dahl scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the ninth inning afternoon as Colorado came back to beat New York 2-1 at Citi Field.
The Rockies scored twice off Mets closer Jeurys Familia in the ninth to snap a 10-game losing streak at Citi Field dating back to Aug. 6, 2013. Colorado has won 10 of 14 since the All-Star break.
The Mets lost a game in which Familia blew a save opportunity for the second time in 18 hours. Familia converted 52 straight regular-season save chances before giving up two runs in the ninth inning of a 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday.
