Lenyn Sosa homers twice to lead White Sox past Diamondbacks 7-3

CHICAGO (AP) — Lenyn Sosa went deep twice for his first career multi-homer game and finished with a career-high four RBIs to lead the Chicago White Sox past the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-3 on Wednesday.

Andrew Benintendi added a solo shot and rookie catcher Kyle Teel had three hits with an RBI and two runs scored to help last-place Chicago avoid a sweep. Mike Tauchman and Sosa finished with three hits as the White Sox won for just the third time in 14 games.

Arizona's Josh Naylor hit his 10th homer among two hits.

White Sox rookie starter Sean Burke (4-7) allowed two runs on five hits over five innings, striking out seven. Three relievers yielded one unearned run.

Zac Gallen (5-9) permitted five runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. Arizona's ace the past three seasons, the right-hander is 2-5 with a 6.97 ERA in his last nine starts.

White Sox centerfielder Luis Robert Jr. left the game in the first inning with left hamstring tightness.

Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte was hitless a day after he was seen in tears on the field after a spectator yelled a derogatory comment about Marte’s late mother during a seventh-inning at-bat. The fan has since been banned from Rate Field.

The White Sox tacked on insurance runs on Sosa's RBI single in the sixth and Chase Meidroth's sac fly in the seventh. Sosa's solo shot in the eighth sealed it at 7-3.

The 29-year-old Gallen had a 43-19 combined record and 3.20 ERA over the past three seasons, and was an All-Star in 2023. He has only one quality start in his last nine and five this season out of 17.

Diamondbacks RHP Merrill Kelly (7-3, 3.39 ERA) faces the Marlins on Friday in Phoenix.

RHP Aaron Civale (1-4, 5.03) starts for the White Sox on Friday against the Giants on the South Side.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday fired off another warning to the government of Cuba as the close ally of Venezuela braces for potential widespread unrest after Nicolás Maduro was deposed as Venezuela's leader.

Cuba, a major beneficiary of Venezuelan oil, has now been cut off from those shipments as U.S. forces continue to seize tankers in an effort to control the production, refining and global distribution of the country's oil products.

Trump said on social media that Cuba long lived off Venezuelan oil and money and had offered security in return, “BUT NOT ANYMORE!”

“THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA - ZERO!” Trump said in the post as he spent the weekend at his home in southern Florida. “I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.” He did not explain what kind of deal.

The Cuban government said 32 of its military personnel were killed during the American operation last weekend that captured Maduro. The personnel from Cuba’s two main security agencies were in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital, as part of an agreement between Cuba and Venezuela.

“Venezuela doesn’t need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years,” Trump said Sunday. “Venezuela now has the United States of America, the most powerful military in the World (by far!), to protect them, and protect them we will.”

Trump also responded to another account’s social media post predicting that his secretary of state, Marco Rubio, will be president of Cuba: “Sounds good to me!” Trump said.

Trump and top administration officials have taken an increasingly aggressive tone toward Cuba, which had been kept economically afloat by Venezuela. Long before Maduro's capture, severe blackouts were sidelining life in Cuba, where people endured long lines at gas stations and supermarkets amid the island’s worst economic crisis in decades.

Trump has said previously that the Cuban economy, battered by years of a U.S. embargo, would slide further with the ouster of Maduro.

“It’s going down,” Trump said of Cuba. “It’s going down for the count.”
