Randal Grichuk hits ninth-inning home run to lift White Sox past Cardinals

Randal Grichuk hit a game-winning home run in the ninth inning on Saturday, securing a 6-5 victory for the Chicago White Sox against the St. Louis Cardinals. Trailing late in the contest, Chicago capitalized on Grichuk’s 358-foot shot off closer Riley O’Brien to overcome an early 3-0 deficit. St. Louis initially built its lead behind effective batting against Luis Castillo before Chicago responded with walks and timely hits, including a game-tying effort from Tristan Peters. The result moves the White Sox 1 ½ games ahead in their division standings. The two teams are scheduled to conclude their series in St. Louis on Sunday.
