Overturned call helps White Sox beat Tillman, Orioles 4-2

CHICAGO (AP) Omar Navarez's foul ball turned into a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning after a replay challenge, and the Chicago White Sox beat Chris Tillman and the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 Saturday night.

With the bases loaded and nobody out, Navarez hit a pop to shallow left field off Mychal Givens. Third baseman Manny Machado tried to make an over-the-shoulder catch, but the ball dropped and umpire Mike Winters immediately ruled it foul.

Replays showed the ball hit the foul line. Pinch-runner J.B. Shuck was awarded home and Navarez got a single.

Tillman (14-4) allowed two singles to lead off the seventh before he was lifted.

Adam Eaton hit a solo homer in the eighth, while Tyler Saldino also homered and Melky Cabrera added an RBI double for the White Sox.
