Vargas, bullpen unable to contain White Sox

With two outs in the third, Todd Frazier fumbled Whit Merrifield's grounder for an error. Mike Moustakas followed with a low line drive to right on which Avisail Garcia made a diving attempt but came up short. Merrifield came around to score to tie the game at that time. Moustakas' double stands as the only hit allowed out of the infield by Gonzalez in his last two starts, covering six hits. He retired 16 of the last 17 hitters faced Monday.

As for the offense, everybody in the lineup had at least one hit but catcher Geovany Soto, with the White Sox knocking a season-high 15 as a team.
