White Sox Crush Pirates

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Luis Robert Jr. homered and drove in two runs, Michael A. Taylor added a bases-clearing double and the Chicago White Sox breezed past the reeling Pittsburgh Pirates 10-1. Edgar Quero also homered for Chicago, taking Pirates starter Bailey Falter (6-5) deep in the first inning as the White Sox jumped on Pittsburgh early to win for just the 12th time in 48 road games this season. Oneil Cruz, who put on a staggering power display in the Home Run Derby in Atlanta, had two hits — both groundball singles — and drove in Pittsburgh’s only run. The Pirates have lost nine of 10.
