Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts hit solo homers for NL West-leading Los Angeles. Alex Freeland had two RBIs.
Erick Fedde (2-5), Chicago's third pitcher, tossed 2 2/3 scoreless innings for the win. Seranthony Dominguez allowed a run on a double and two walks in the ninth, but struck out Freeman with two men on for his 12th save.
The White Sox trailed 1-0 and had one hit before they smacked six straight hits off Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan and reliever Jack Dreyer to open the sixth.
Antonnacci led off with a solo shot to tie it. Miguel Vargas singled and came home on Benintendi's double to put Chicago ahead 2-1.
Montgomery greeted Dreyer with his 17th homer, a two-run drive that made it 4-1. After Braden Montgomery singled, Meidroth went deep to push Chicago's lead to 6-1.
Sheehan (3-4) allowed three runs and four hits, striking out eight in five-plus innings. He didn’t allow a hit until Colson Montgomery doubled with two outs in the fourth.
The White Sox opened with pair of left-handers for the first 3 1/3 innings against a Dodgers starting lineup with six left-handed batters, topped by Shohei Ohtani.
Bryan Hudson pitched the first and allowed Freeman’s 11th homer. Sean Newcomb followed with 2 1/3 hitless innings before Fedde took over with one out in the fourth.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts missed the game to attend his daughter’s college graduation.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A large-scale Russian attack on Ukraine killed rescue personnel in Kharkiv and four people in the capital Kyiv on Monday as strikes set apartment buildings ablaze and sparked a fire at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, one of the country’s most significant religious landmarks.
Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia launched 70 missiles and 611 drones overnight, primarily targeting Kyiv, while also striking the cities of Dnipro and Kharkiv. The military said air defenses intercepted or electronically suppressed 632 aerial targets, including 50 missiles and 582 drones. Preliminary data showed 20 ballistic missiles and 27 attack drones hit 42 locations across the country, while debris from intercepted drones fell at 12 sites.
A series of powerful explosions echoed across Kyiv, with a wave of ballistic missiles followed by Shahed drones as many people sought shelter underground and officials urged residents to take cover.
Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, said four people were killed and at least 30 were injured, including two children aged 5 and 6.
Five strikes hit civilian sites in the city’s Shevchenkivskyi district in less than 30 minutes, he said, including a 25-story apartment building, while a market and a grocery store caught fire. In the Obolonskyi district, a nine-story residential building took a direct hit.
Striking apartment blocks was a “deliberate decision” by Russia, he said.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said it carried out a strike with long-range precision weapons and drones on military industrial facilities in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Dnipro, as well as military conscription offices and military air bases. It said “the goals of the strikes have been fulfilled and all the designated facilities have been hit.”
Russia’s Defense Ministry said air defenses downed 123 Ukrainian drones overnight.
In Kharkiv, authorities said Russian forces used a “double tap” tactic, launching four additional drone strikes on the site of an earlier attack in the Kholodnohirskyi district after emergency crews had arrived.
Four emergency service workers and an employee of the Kharkiv City Council’s emergency department were killed, while six rescuers and three civilians were injured. Separately, a woman was injured in the city’s Shevchenkivskyi district, where residential buildings and vehicles were damaged in a drone strike.
In Dnipro, one of the buildings of a local college was destroyed, while the blast wave shattered windows at a school and the city’s House of Organ and Chamber Music, according to Dnipropetrovsk regional administration head Oleksandr Hanzha.
Two people were injured and infrastructure, businesses, a college and cultural institutions were damaged. Russian forces also carried out nearly 30 attacks using drones, artillery, missiles and guided aerial bombs in Dnipro as well as the Kryvyi Rih, Pavlohrad, Synelnykove and Nikopol districts.
In the Sumy region, three people including a child were injured after a Russian strike hit an apartment building and damaged a non-residential structure, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said.
Damage at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a monastic complex, was substantial and a serious fire had broken out, said Tkachenko, who accused Russia of deliberately striking “the heart of one of the largest Christian shrines.”
The roof of the Dormition Cathedral caught fire during the overnight attack, said Metropolitan Epiphanius, head of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. He condemned the strike as another Russian crime “against humanity, against history, against Christianity” and appealed for prayers to save the site.
The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, also known as the Monastery of the Caves, is a sprawling complex of monasteries and churches, including some underground, built from the 11th to the 19th century. Some of the churches at the UNESCO-listed World Heritage site are connected by a labyrinthine complex of caves spanning more than 600 meters (2,000 feet).
The cathedral, churches and other buildings overlook the right bank of the Dnipro River and have been a pilgrimage site for centuries.
