Madrigal drives in winning run as White Sox beat Rangers

Nick Madrigal doubled home the winning run in the ninth inning after Liam Hendriks allowed a tying homer in the top half, and the Chicago White Sox recovered to beat the Texas Rangers 2-1 on Saturday night.

Luis Robert led off the White Sox ninth with an infield single. Rookie phenom Yermín Mercedes was intentionally walked before Madrigal delivered the winning hit to right field off John King with two outs.

Willie Calhoun hit his first homer of the season off Hendriks (1-0) to right-center to tie the game. It was Hendriks' second blown save in six chances with his new team. He got the final five outs the previous night.

Yoán Moncada had 3 hits for the Sox and scored on Kyle Gibson's wild pitch in the sixth to break a scoreless tie.

Calhoun had 2 hits for the Rangers, who have lost three of four. Texas went 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position.

The Rangers nearly tied the game in the seventh on Nick Solak's single with two on. Billy Hamilton, a defensive replacement in left field to start the inning, threw out Calhoun attempting to score from second.

King (2-1) gave up three hits in 2⅔ innings.

Keuchel allowed 7 hits and no walks, struck out two and pitched more than five innings for the first time this season.
