SAN FRANCISCO—Korey Lee hit a tiebreaking two-out, two-run single that highlighted a four-run ninth inning as the Chicago White Sox snapped a four-game losing streak with a 6–2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.

Luis Robert Jr. and Andrew Benintendi drew consecutive walks off reliever Erik Miller (3–4) with one out in the ninth. After Andrew Vaughn reached on an infield single, Miller struck out Gavin Sheets. Then, after Spencer Bivens came on to replace Miller, Lee singled on a 2–2 fastball, giving the White Sox a 4–2 lead. Lenyn Sosa followed with another two-run single to help seal the win.
