CHICAGO (AP) — Gunnar Henderson hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in Baltimore’s three-run eighth inning, and the Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox 4-2 on Tuesday for their eighth straight victory over the South Siders.

Alexander started the eighth-inning rally with a one-out double off Jordan Hicks (0-1). Ward followed with another double, tying it at 2. Chase Meidroth had two hits for Chicago , which dropped to 3-2 on a six-game homestand.

Shane Smith struck out eight and walked five in 3 2/3 scoreless innings in his third start of the year.
