Porter Hodge retired all three batters in the seventh. Jorge López pitched around a single and a walk in the eighth, striking out Korey Lee and Corey Julks to end that threat. The White Sox took a 1-0 lead in the second when Miguel Vargas reached on an error by second baseman Hoerner and scored on a single by Baldwin.
The White Sox, keyed by Andrew Benintendi's two homers, nearly wiped out a 7-0 deficit, only to come up short in their first game since firing manager Pedro Grifol and replacing him on an interim basis with Sizemore. They made the change on Thursday, two days after ending a 21-game losing streak that tied the American League record.
Happ hit his sixth career leadoff homer. Bellinger added a two-run drive in the first and finished with three hits. The White Sox lost for the 23rd time in 24 games and fell a franchise-record 62 games below .500 at 28-90. They joined the 1916 Philadephia A's as the only teams to lose 90 or more in the first 118 games.
