Bonifacio homered to left field with two out in the fourth off White Sox starter Dylan Covey, wiping out a 1-0 deficit. Perez pushed the lead to 4-1 with a one-hopper off the bag with the bases loaded in the fifth. That was enough support for Vargas (4-1), who gave up five hits and three walks while striking out one.
Covey gave up nine hits and six runs over 6 2/3 innings, including a two-run home run to Eric Hosmer.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Rookie comes through: Bonifacio continued his impressive start by jumping on a 2-1 fastball from Covey and hitting it an estimated 432 feet, according to Statcast™, with an exit velocity of 106.
