White Sox lose sixth straight game, 96th on the season

Dylan Beavers homered, Tyler Wells pitched six effective innings and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1 on Wednesday.

Beavers, one of Baltimore's top prospects, connected for a two-run shot in the fourth against Martín Pérez (1-6). He celebrated his third homer by donning a Baltimore Ravens helmet in the dugout.

Wells (2-0) allowed one run and four hits in his third start of the season. The right-hander returned this month after he had elbow surgery in June 2024.

Mike Tauchman homered for the last-place White Sox in their sixth consecutive loss. Pérez permitted three runs and five hits in 3⅔ innings before departing with left shoulder soreness.

The Orioles jumped in front in the first. Gunnar Henderson hit a two-out single and advanced to second when left fielder Will Robertson let the ball go under his glove. Henderson swiped third as part of a double steal and scored on Jeremiah Jackson's infield single to third.

Tauchman hit a leadoff drive in the fourth for his ninth homer.

Yaramil Hiraldo and Rico Garcia each pitched an inning for Baltimore before Keegan Akin handled the ninth for his seventh save.
