Sox Win, Cards Lose

>>Sanchez Sends Streaking Sox To Extra Innings Win

 width=Carlos Sanchez's walk-off single in the 10th inning lifted the Chicago White Sox to a 2-1 win over the Cleveland Indians in a battle of aces.

Prior to the extra-inning dramatics, Chicago starter Chris Sale and reigning Cy Young winner Corey Kluber combined for 19 strikeouts over their 17 innings of work.

Sale struck out seven and allowed a run on four hits and two walks over eight innings. Kluber, fresh off his dominating 18-strikeout performance over the St. Louis Cardinals last Wednesday, fanned 12 more. He surrendered a run on five hits and a walk over nine frames.

Zach Duke (2-2) tossed a scoreless top of the 10th to notch the win for the White Sox, who have won six in a row.

Jose Ramirez had two hits and the lone RBI for Cleveland.

 width=>>Mets Outlast Cardinals In 14 Innings

John Mayberry's RBI single in the 14th inning lifted the New York Mets to a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the opener of a four-game set on Monday.

Eric Campbell and Lucas Duda each worked walks off Sam Tuivailala (0-1) to open the deciding frame. Campbell moved to third after Michael Cuddyer grounded into a force out and Daniel Murphy was walked to load the bases.

On the very next pitch, Mayberry hit a soft grounder to shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who dove to stop the ball. Campbell rushed down the base path and slid into home, beating Peralta's throw for the game-winning run.

Lucas Duda drove in a run and Curtis Granderson doubled twice for the Mets, who had Matt Harvey's terrific outing almost spoiled after usually-reliable closer Jeurys Familia gave up the game-tying run in the ninth.

Harvey allowed just six hits and one walk and tied a season high with nine strikeouts over eight innings in the no-decision. Carlos Torres (2-2) earned the win after tossing two scoreless innings of relief.

Jason Heyward brought in the Cardinals' lone run and Yadier Molina finished with three hits and a walk. Starter John Lackey surrendered just one run on three hits with no walks and six strikeouts over seven frames.
