White Sox Avoid Sweep with 9-4 Win Over Mets

The Chicago White Sox avoided a three-game sweep by defeating the New York Mets 9-4 at Citi Field, powered by a season-high four RBIs from Andrew Benintendi, who went 3-for-5 including a home run, triple, and a two-run single. The White Sox jumped out early with a five-run lead supported by contributions from Mike Tauchman, Lenyn Sosa, and Miguel Vargas, while strong pitching from Brandon Eisert helped secure the win.

The win also marked an end to the White Sox's six-game road losing streak and showcased potential momentum for the team as they look to build consistency.
