needed.  The Chicago bats were silent in the 9th.  

Jeremy Jeffress recorded the save, his 1st.  Kenta Maeda(0-1) ended up with
the loss.  He pitched 7 innings and surrendered 6 hits and 1 walk.

WEB GEMS- Bot 1st: Whit Merrifield robbed Trent Grisham of an extra base hit.

Center fielder Whit Merrifield cracked a homer and Trevor Bauer allowed 3 hits
while blanking Pittsburgh as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Pittsburgh
Pirates by the score of 2 to 0 at T-Mobile Park.

Bauer(1-1) was virtually untouchable.  He gave up just 3 hits and 1 walk in 9
innings.  Bauer racked up 15 strikeouts lowering his ERA from 4.50 to 2.12.
Neither team managed to score after the 3rd inning.  

David Peterson(1-1) took the loss.  He was knocked around by Chicago, allowing
13 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings.  Bauer was obviously very pleased with his
performance in the aftermath of the game, 'It was just one of those games
where everything worked.  My arm felt great, heck, I could have pitched
another two or three innings.  I only hope that I can do it again next time
out!'

Manny Machado had 4 hits and 4 RBI and Corbin Burnes struck out 14 batters at
Yankee Stadium as the Chicago White Sox beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9 to
2.

It was a good day for Chicago thanks to Machado.  He cracked a solo homerun in
the 2nd inning, doubled which was good for two runs in the 3rd inning,
slapped a base-hit scoring a run in the 4th inning and laced a one-base hit
in the 6th inning.  Chicago ended up with 16 hits for the game while
Pittsburgh had 6.  

Burnes(1-0) allowed 2 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the victory.
Pablo Lopez(0-2) was the loser.  He got hit hard, allowing 16 hits and 3
walks in 8 innings.  

Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Burnes - except Pittsburgh.  Steve
Cadwell lamented, 'He just was 'on' tonight.  He was keeping our guys off
balance all game.  A fine game by a good strikeout pitcher - makes it a fun
game for the hometown fans - unfortunately we were the visitors!'
