LaMarre's bat, Lopez's arm propel ChiSox past Yanks

Ryan LaMarre enjoyed the best night of his career when he homered and drove in four runs as the Chicago White Sox recorded a 4-1 victory over the New York Yankees Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium.

LaMarre helped the White Sox win a series in New York against the Yankees for the first time since Aug. 2005 by hitting a two-run double in the second, an RBI doubles in the fourth and a solo homer in the seventh.

The left-fielder recorded his third career three-hit game and is hitting .364 (12-for-33) in 16 games with the White Sox, who claimed him off waivers from Minnesota in early July.

LaMarre's big night helped the White Sox continue their improved play in recent weeks. Chicago won a fifth straight road series for the first time since April 2005 and also won for the 11th time in 15 games.

Reynaldo Lopez (5-9) allowed one run and five hits in seven innings to end a nine-game winless streak. Before winning for the first time since July 1 at Texas, he was 0-4 with a 6.70 ERA.

Lopez loaded the bases on two singles and a walk in the fifth before allowing a single to Ronald Torreyes that made it 3-1. Lopez then struck out Brett Gardner and tagged out Gleyber Torres at the plate trying to advance on a ball that reached the backstop.

The 24-year-old right-hander also opened the sixth by walking Giancarlo Stanton but quietly ended the inning. He began the seventh by allowing a single to Torres but recorded two flyouts around a strikeout.

Xavier Cedeno breezed through a hitless eighth by getting three groundouts and Jace Fry pitched a scoreless ninth to record his fourth save.

LaMarre made it 2-0 with a two-strike double off CC Sabathia (7-5) with two outs in the second. LaMarre made it 3-0 by lining a double down the left-field line with two outs in the fourth.

After the Yankees scored, LaMarre hit a 1-1 fastball from Chad Green into the first row of the right-center field seats.

Sabathia allowed three runs on five hits in six innings and took his first loss since July 9.

Stanton remained stuck on 299 career homers. He went 0-for-3, though he hit a foul ball into the second deck beyond the left-field fence in the first inning.

The Yankees fell to 16-7 in their last 23 games since getting swept in a four-game series at Fenway Park Aug. 2-5. New York also dropped 7 1/2 games behind Boston in the AL East and remained 4 1/2 games ahead of Oakland in the wild-card race.

Chicago played the game without Tim Anderson (bruised left ankle). The shortstop injured his ankle in a collision with left fielder Nicky Delmonico in the eighth inning Tuesday and is day to day.
