White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham broke a 1-all tie in the eighth inning Monday against the Cubs with a solo home run off Neil Ramirez, which propelled Chicago to a 5-1 win. Beckham had a season-high four hits in five at-bats and scored twice.
Beckham entered play Tuesday sporting a .167 average (7 for 42) in his first 11 games. He also homered for the first time this season in the win.
"Great night, completely blessed to have it and definitely comes at a good time. Good win," Beckham said, per MLB.com. "I got a better feel today. I mean, it was bound to happen. I was bound to get more than, do better than like 1-for-6 or so. It was one of those things. I've kind of been here before, so just had a good game. Glad I happened to do it."
