CHICAGO (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit a two-run homer, Jesús Luzardo pitched seven sparkling innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3 on Tuesday night.
Brandon Marsh also hit a two-run drive for Philadelphia, which bounced back nicely after dropping the series opener on Monday night. Schwarber, Marsh and Trea Turner each had two hits.
Luzardo (9-5) allowed two hits, struck out four and walked one.
The White Sox scored three times in the ninth against Daniel Robert. Colson Montgomery had a run-scoring groundout, and Lenyn Sosa connected for a two-run homer.
The Phillies grabbed control with four runs in the third against Jonathan Cannon (4-8).
Turner hit a leadoff double and scored on Schwarber’s 441-foot shot to right field. Schwarber’s 37th homer of the season had an exit velocity of 114.9 mph.
With two out and J.T. Realmuto aboard, Marsh hit a drive to right-center to give the Phillies a 6-0 lead. It was Marsh’s fourth homer.
Cannon allowed seven hits in six innings. He struck out three and walked two.
