Vargas, Burke shine as White Sox beat Padres 4-0 for 5th straight win

Miguel Vargas hit a two-run single with two outs in the sixth inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the San Diego Padres 4-0 on Saturday night to win their season-high fifth straight game and for the 10th time in 14 games. The Padres loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth against Grant Taylor, but he struck out Gavin Sheets and then Seranthony Domínguez came on to get the final two outs for his eighth save. The Padres were shut out for the first time at home since last May 31 against Pittsburgh, a span of 69 games that was the longest active streak in the majors.

The Chicago White Sox are on fire. Miguel Vargas delivered a clutch two-out, two-run single in the sixth inning Saturday night, propelling the White Sox to a 4-0 victory over the San Diego Padres. The win marks Chicago's season-high fifth straight victory and their 10th in the last 14 games—a hot streak that has fans buzzing.

The Padres threatened late, loading the bases with no outs in the ninth against reliever Grant Taylor. But Taylor showed poise, striking out Gavin Sheets before handing the ball to Seranthony Domínguez, who slammed the door for his eighth save of the season.

San Diego was shut out at home for the first time since last May 31 against Pittsburgh, snapping the longest active streak in the majors at 69 consecutive home games with at least one run.

White Sox starter Sean Burke (2-2) was dominant, scattering four hits and striking out eight over six scoreless innings while walking just one. His performance handed the Padres their fourth straight loss, following a series loss to the Cubs.

Chicago broke through against Padres ace Michael King (3-2) in the sixth. No. 9 hitter Tristan Peters walked, Andrew Benintendi singled, and after a groundout moved them over, Vargas delivered an opposite-field soft liner to right, scoring both runners.

The White Sox kept the pressure on in the seventh, opening with three straight hits—including an RBI single from Edgar Quero that chased King. Later, Peters added a safety squeeze bunt to bring in Sam Antonacci, extending the lead to 4-0.

King lasted six innings, allowing four runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and three walks.

These two teams wrap up their series Sunday, with White Sox lefty Anthony Kay (1-1, 6.12 ERA) facing Padres right-hander Randy Vásquez (3-0, 2.94). Can Chicago keep rolling, or will San Diego finally snap its skid?
