Renfroe HRs but 'pen can't hold; Weaver strong

CHICAGO -- The White Sox rallied for eight runs in the eighth and claimed a 9-3 victory over the Padres Sunday at Guaranteed Rate Field, giving them the series win and a second straight victory after six consecutive losses. They scored those eight runs on four hits, while benefitting from five walks and a hit batsman.

The Padres were staked to an early lead on Hunter Renfroe's three-run homer in the 7th, breaking up what was otherwise a strong start from Jose Quintana.

However, trouble brewed in the eighth. Trailing 3-1, Padres reliever Ryan Buchter walked Yolmer Sanchez and Jose Abreu with one out.
