Reds Rally Past White Sox 5-4 in 10th on Pope Hat Night

CHICAGO — Elly De La Cruz drove in automatic runner Matt McLain with a sacrifice fly in the top of the 10th inning as the Cincinnati Reds snapped a three-game skid with a 5-4 comeback win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.

The Reds rallied from three runs down in the eighth inning after White Sox starter Sean Burke had allowed just one run on three hits over seven innings.

Bryan Hudson gave up an RBI single to De La Cruz in the eighth, and Tyler Stephenson followed with a bases-loaded single off Grant Taylor that drove in two runs and tied the score.

Sean Newcomb (1-3) took the loss. Brock Burke (5-4) got the win, and Emilio Pagan recorded his 14th save with a perfect 10th.

A sellout for a papal giveaway

The White Sox drew 38,113, their ninth sellout of the season, for a unique promotion: team-branded papal-style hats in honor of Pope Leo XIV, a lifelong White Sox fan who attended Game 1 of the 2005 World Series as Father Robert Prevost. Sister Mary Jo Sobieck threw out the first pitch.

Brenton Doyle sent Nick Lodolo's first pitch of the game 415 feet to deep center field, his fourth career leadoff home run and the sixth for the White Sox this season. Edgar Quero and Miguel Vargas also hit solo home runs for Chicago.

Burke scattered three hits over seven innings, allowing one run on Eugenio Suarez's third homer in four games, his 17th of the year. Burke, who has allowed two or fewer runs in eight of his last nine starts, struck out eight and walked none.

Muneteka Murakami extended his on-base streak to 26 games with a double in the eighth.

Lodolo was activated off the injured list after a blister to make his first start since July 11. He gave up four runs on five hits in four innings.

Reds right-hander Rhett Lowder (4-7, 5.26 ERA) faces White Sox right-hander Luis Castillo (3-9, 5.30) on Wednesday.
