“This was a big moment,” said White Sox manager Rick Renteria, whose team improved to 28-16. “We needed that comeback that we had, the at-bats they put together and being able to score the runs that we did were obviously huge. Picked us all up.”\n\n

I think that’s part of a really, really good team, guys picking each other up there.”\n\n“Today wasn't [Giolito's] best day,” Jiménez said, “but we had his back. Today was a really good day for us, and we showed we can do what we're supposed to do every night.\"
