Brenton Doyle added two hits and two RBIs as the AL Central-leading White Sox (69-63) improved to 3-3 on a seven-game homestand.

Texas had won four of five, including an 11-2 victory over Chicago on Monday night. The Rangers (66-67) dropped into second in the sluggish AL West, a half-game back of Houston.

Jake Burger, Danny Jansen and Justin Foscue homered for Texas.

The Rangers loaded the bases with two out in the ninth. Grant Taylor came in and earned his eighth save when Cody Freeman bounced into a fielder's choice.

DeGrom (9-9) was charged with eight runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings. The two-time Cy Young Award winner issued five walks and struck out a season-low two.

The eight earned runs were the most allowed by deGrom since joining the Rangers and matched his career high.

Peters' broken-bat liner to right drove in Miguel Vargas and Braden Montgomery, giving Chicago a 4-0 lead. Doyle followed with a two-run single.

DeGrom has surrendered 26 runs in the first inning over his 25 starts this season and 61 runs overall.

Texas closed within 10-7 on Foscue's ninth homer, a two-run drive to left in the sixth. Peters responded with a solo shot in the bottom half for his 11th career homer — all this season.

White Sox left-hander Anthony Kay allowed four runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings. Bryan Hudson (4-4) got four outs for the win.

Left-hander MacKenzie Gore (7-9, 4.26 ERA) pitches for Texas in the series finale on Wednesday night. Right-hander Sean Burke (7-6, 3.27) starts for Chicago.

NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Lindor made a diving catch at shortstop with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and scored the winning run on a throwing error in the 10th to lead the New York Mets past the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Lindor and Luis Robert Jr. homered for the last-place Mets (60-72), who are 13-6 since selling big at the trade deadline. Lindor’s homer was his 154th for New York, tying Dave Kingman for sixth on the franchise list.

Carson Benge had his 11th three-hit game for the Mets, most among major league rookies.

With the Mets resting a couple of high-leverage relievers in their revamped bullpen, Austin Warren was summoned in the ninth to protect a 2-1 advantage. He gave up a leadoff double to William Contreras and a tying double to pinch-hitter Christian Yelich that left runners at second and third with nobody out.

But the major league-leading Brewers (81-51) were never able to push across the go-ahead run. With the bases loaded and two outs, David Hamilton hit a line drive off left-hander Jefry Yan that Lindor snagged on his backhand with a dive to his right.

A fired-up Yan pounded the turf and Lindor shouted in celebration — but then Lindor was picked off first base by closer Trevor Megill to end the bottom of the ninth.

Jonathan Pintaro (2-0) stranded two in a hitless 10th, and Megill loaded the bases with one out in the bottom half on an intentional walk to Benge and an unintentional one to Robert.

Christopher Morel hit a grounder wide of third, and Lindor scored when Hamilton’s throw to the plate was wild.
