PHOENIX (Interstat) — Andrew Benintendi hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the ninth inning that lifted the Chicago White Sox over the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-1 on Thursday for their third win in four games.

With the score tied 1-1, Chase Meidroth drew a four-pitch walk from Paul Sewald and moved up on Tristan Peters’ sacrifice. Pinch-hitter Edgar Quero walked and Benintendi, who entered the game hitting .216, followed by driving a 2-2 fastball 410 feet into the swimming pool area in right-center for his second homer of the season.

Grant Taylor, who stranded runners at second and third by striking out Jose Fernandez to end the seventh, then worked around a leadoff single in the eighth to pitch 1 2/3 scoreless innings. Seranthony Domínguez pitched a perfect ninth for his fifth save.

The White Sox improved to 10-15, while Arizona fell to 14-11.

The game was played in front of 20,405 at Chase Field and lasted 2 hours, 37 minutes.

Davis Martin earned the win for Chicago, allowing one run on six hits over 6 1/3 innings, striking out seven. The right-hander continued a strong recent stretch after he allowed one run over seven innings in a win at on April 17.

Taylor, making his second major league appearance, got the victory after entering with two outs in the seventh. He inherited a runner at second and third and struck out Fernandez on three pitches to escape the jam.

Sewald took the loss, his third of the season, after allowing three runs on one hit and three walks in one inning.

Arizona starter Michael Soroka pitched well, holding Chicago to one run on seven hits over five innings with six strikeouts, but he left with the score tied 1-1. The Diamondbacks bullpen, which had been effective in the series, finally cracked in the ninth.

The White Sox struck first in the third inning. Benintendi singled and Munetaka Murakami singled to put runners at first and second. Miguel Vargas then grounded a single to center, scoring Benintendi and giving Chicago a 1-0 lead.

Arizona had taken a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Ketel Marte singled off Martin and advanced on a groundout. Adrian Del Castillo doubled to right, scoring Marte and putting the Diamondbacks ahead.

The game settled into a pitchers’ duel from there. Martin worked out of a jam in the fourth after a two-out single by Ildemaro Vargas, getting Nolan Arenado to line out sharply to left.

Soroka matched Martin, striking out the side in the fifth and working around a leadoff walk to Vargas in that inning.

Chicago threatened in the sixth when Meidroth singled with two outs, but Soroka got Peters to ground out to end the inning.

The White Sox bullpen took over in the seventh after Martin departed. Taylor, a 22-year-old right-hander, entered with runners at second and third and two outs after Alek Thomas doubled and Arenado singled. Taylor struck out Fernandez on a 96-mph fastball to preserve the tie.

Then in the eighth, Taylor allowed a leadoff single to Geraldo Perdomo but retired the next three batters, including a strikeout of Del Castillo to end the inning.

Sewald, who had been touched for two runs in his previous outing Tuesday against Chicago, could not hold the Diamondbacks in the ninth. Meidroth worked a walk on four pitches after a replay challenge overturned a called third strike. Peters sacrificed him to second, and Quero walked on five pitches to bring up Benintendi.

Benintendi, who entered the game 0 for his previous four at-bats, launched the first pitch he saw from Sewald deep to right-center. The ball cleared the fence and landed in the pool area, giving Chicago a 4-1 lead.

Domínguez closed out the game in the ninth, striking out Arenado and Jorge Barrosa to end it.

For the White Sox, the win capped a series that saw them split the first two games in Phoenix. Chicago lost 11-7 on Wednesday but had won 11-5 on Tuesday.

The White Sox finished with 10 hits, led by Benintendi, who was 2 for 5 with the homer and three RBIs. Meidroth had two hits and drew the key walk in the ninth. Colson Montgomery also had two hits.

Arizona managed eight hits, including two from Marte and a double from Del Castillo. Thomas doubled in the seventh but was stranded.

The Diamondbacks grounded into two double plays, both turned by the Chicago infield.

The total score of five runs went over the over-under line of nine, a rare occurrence given the pitching matchup. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a 7-3 Arizona victory, and the Diamondbacks had been installed as a 1.5-run favorite with a 67.4 percent win probability according to their ELO system.

But the White Sox bullpen and Benintendi’s ninth-inning blast turned the tables.

Martin’s outing was his second straight quality start after he allowed one run over seven innings against the Athletics. He lowered his season ERA to 3.86.

Soroka, meanwhile, continued to pitch well for Arizona. The right-hander allowed seven hits but only one run, and he struck out six without walking a batter. He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four of his six starts this season.

Relievers Kevin Ginkel and Juan Morillo combined for three scoreless innings, and Jonathan Loáisiga faced one batter in the eighth, but Sewald could not finish the job.

The White Sox open a three-game series Friday at home against the Washington Nationals. The Diamondbacks return home Saturday to face the San Diego Padres in the opener of a three-game set.

Chicago has won three of its past four games after losing seven of eight from April 8-16. The White Sox have shown improvement on the mound, with Martin and Taylor leading the way Thursday.

Arizona had won three of its previous four games before Thursday’s loss. The Diamondbacks have won 14 of their first 25 games, good for second place in the National League West.

But on this afternoon, the White Sox got the big hit when they needed it most, and their bullpen held the Diamondbacks scoreless over the final 2 2/3 innings.

The winning pitcher was Taylor, who earned his first major league victory in his second appearance. The save went to Domínguez, who has converted all five of his save opportunities this season.

The loss dropped Sewald to 0-3, and his ERA rose to 6.75. He has allowed runs in three of his past four outings.
