Brewers Defeat White Sox 7-2, Extend Chicago's Struggles

The Chicago White Sox lost 7-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers in their first home game after a 10-game road trip, despite early back-to-back home runs by Andrew Benintendi and Luis Robert Jr. The White Sox took an early 2-1 lead, but the Brewers rallied with a four-run sixth inning, capitalizing on walks, infield singles, and a hit batsman. Chicago's pitching staff struggled, issuing 10 walks and failing to contain Milwaukee's late offensive push. Brewers starter Freddy Peralta overcame a rocky first inning to pitch six strong innings, allowing only three hits and retiring the last six batters he faced. The White Sox continued their experimental use of openers due to injuries, but it did not pay off as the bullpen faltered in key moments. With the loss, the White Sox remain last in the AL Central, while the Brewers extended their trend of winning by large margins.
