Montgomery's ninth-inning homer leads White Sox to 10-9 win over Nationals

Luis Garcia Jr. hits a trifecta of homers

Luis García Jr. hit a career-high three of Washington’s six home runs. Josh Bell, CJ Abrams and Daylen Lile also homered for the Nationals. It was the team's most homers in a game since July 19, 2021 against Miami.

Fraser Ellard (1-2) pitched one-third of an inning for the win and Grant Taylor pitched a scoreless ninth for his sixth save.

Jose A. Ferrer (4-4) gave up two runs — one earned — in the ninth, his fourth blown save.

Jordan Leasure's string of 14 consecutive scoreless innings, which had been the third-longest active streak in MLB, was snapped.

Chase Meidroth reached on a fielding error and opened the scoring when Miguel Vargas singled. Brooks Baldwin doubled to drive in two runs and then scored on a double by Sosa to give the White Sox a 4-0 lead.

Sosa homered to leadoff the fourth inning and Kyle Teel added a run-scoring single to make it 6-1.

James Wood struck out once, bringing his league-worst strikeout tally to 216 this season. Mark Reynolds holds the MLB single-season record for strikeouts with 223 in 2009.

Key moment Teel reached on a fielding error by Ferrer and two pitches later Montgomery hit a 97-mph sinker over the wall in right-center field.
