Chicago White Sox unleash 7-run third to beat Orioles 9-3

On June 30, 2026, the Chicago White Sox delivered a seven‑run third inning against the Baltimore Orioles, turning a 1‑1 tie into a 9‑3 victory. Colson Montgomery hit a 440‑foot home run and Junior Perez added a 409‑foot three‑run shot, fueling the outburst. Starter Erick Fedde limited Baltimore to three runs over five innings, and Tyler Schweitzer earned his first career save by closing the final four innings.

The win extended Chicago’s lead atop the AL Central to two games over Cleveland and marked the first time the White Sox logged back‑to‑back winning months since 2021. Earlier in the series, Chicago won 8‑2 on June 29 with a go‑ahead double by Montgomery and three RBIs from Jacob Gonzalez. Orioles starter Trey Gibson struggled in both games, yielding multiple runs and walks.

The series victory solidified Chicago’s playoff push and highlighted the emerging power of young players such as Montgomery, whose long‑ball surge has drawn league attention.
