ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Texas right-hander Jon Gray allowed one run pitching into the eighth inning and retired the last 15 batters he faced as the Rangers beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2 on Tuesday night. After Andrew Vaughn s RBI single with two outs in the third inning, the White Sox didn t get another batter on base against Gray (5-4)....
Gray held the White Sox scoreless through the first two frames but gave up his first run of the night in the third inning on an Andrew Vaughn single. It would be the only run Gray would allow on the night as he kept the struggling White Sox at bay while pitching his second-longest outing of the season. Gray now has a 3.73 ERA and is sitting on a 5-4 record. He'll look to pick up his sixth win on Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Lorenzen gave up six hits, walked two and struck out eight. Tommy Pham hit a solo home run off Lorenzen in the first inning and Brooks Baldwin drove in Andrew Vaughn with an RBI single in the fourth inning. He's completed exactly five innings in each of his last five starts. Lorenzen has been consistent in that regard, though the eight strikeouts were a season-high. He has a 3.53 ERA on the season. The 32-year-old right-hander is set to face the Blue Jays on the road this weekend.
Vaughn was on a nice roll before this, and he's hardly the only White Sox hitter struggling even more than usual at the moment; the team has scored a total of eight runs during this six-game losing skid. He remains an option in deeper mixed leagues, but he'll probably be a weaker one in 10 days, after the White Sox trade off at least Tommy Pham and maybe Luis Robert Jr. from their already impotent lineup.
