White Sox Homer Past Phillies 6-2 on July 28, 2025

CHICAGO — Luis Robert Jr. and Colson Montgomery homered to help the Chicago White Sox beat Cristopher Sánchez and the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 on Monday night.

Davis Martin pitched six-hit ball into the sixth inning as Chicago improved to 7-3 since the All-Star break. Lenyn Sosa had three hits, including a run-scoring single.

The last-place White Sox need two more wins to match their total from all of last year, when they went 41-121 to break the modern major league record for most losses in a season.

Bryce Harper had two hits and two RBI for Philadelphia, which dropped to 2-2 on a six-game trip. Kyle Schwarber walked three times, and Brandon Marsh finished with two hits.

Sánchez (9-3) allowed four runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings in his first loss since June 8. The wiry left-hander went 4-0 with a 1.40 ERA in his previous seven starts.

Sánchez was staked to a 2-0 lead on Harper's two-run double in the third inning. But Montgomery responded with a two-run drive in the bottom half.

Montgomery's 395-foot shot to right was the rookie's fourth homer in his last six games. It also was the first homer for a lefty batter off Sánchez this season.

Robert made it 4-2 with his 11th homer, another two-run shot that drifted over the wall in right in the fourth. The center fielder went 1 for 4 with two strikeouts a day after he was hit by a 101.1 mph fastball in the ninth inning of a 5-4 loss to the Cubs.

Martin (3-8) struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings in his first win since May 14.
