CHICAGO (AP) --- CJ Abrams' sacrifice fly scored automatic runner Daylen Lile
from third in the 10th inning, pinch-hitter Jos Tena followed with a solo
homer and the Washington Nationals beat the Chicago White Sox 2-1 on Sunday for
their second straight extra-innings win.
After the teams played nine scoreless innings, Lile advanced to third on Jorbit
Vivas' groundout and scored when left fielder Tanner Murray injured his
shoulder making a diving catch on Abrams' sinking liner.
Tena followed with his first homer of the season off Chicago closer Seranthony
Dominguez.
The White Sox closed within 2-1 in the bottom half of the 10th when Tristan
Peters singled in automatic runner Derek Hill from second with one out. But,
Paxton Schultz, called up from Triple-A before the game, struck out Chase
Meidroth and Miguel Vargas to earn his first career save.
Richard Lovelady (2-1), Washington's second reliever, pitched a scoreless ninth
for the win. Dominguez (1-3) allowed two runs (one earned) in the 10th on one
hit for the loss.
Washington starter Foster Griffin allowed two hits in seven scoreless innings
and lowered his ERA to 2.67. The left-hander struck out eight and walked two in
his longest outing this season after pitching the previous three in Japan.
Chicago's Sean Burke pitched 7 1/3 innings of scoreless, three-hit ball in bulk
relief, the longest outing of his career. He entered after opener Bryan Hudson
pitched a 1-2-3 first.
Burke struck out four and walked none. He retired 15 straight after allowing a
single to James Wood with two outs in the third.
Washington center fielder Jacob Young jumped high against the wall to grab
Murray's sharp drive leading off the bottom of the seventh.
