SAN DIEGO \u2014 Sean Burke enjoys pitching at Petco Park.<\/p>\n

The Chicago White Sox starter allowed one run over six innings in a Sept. 2024 start at the ballpark<\/a>. And he was even sharper Saturday, pitching six scoreless innings while leading the Sox to a 4-0 victory against the San Diego Padres.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just love playing here,\u201d Burke said. \u201cI love San Diego, the environment here, the atmosphere. The stadium being right downtown and right by the water. I just enjoy it here. Good mounds, good crowd. It\u2019s always a good team too. When you are playing a good team, you are playing some of the best in the game and you elevate yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018He\u2019s a competitor\u2019: Noah Schultz settles in and takes another step with scoreless outing for Chicago White Sox<\/a><\/p>\n

Burke continued a strong series for Sox starters, following up Noah Schultz\u2019s six scoreless innings Friday<\/a> with six scoreless of his own. Burke allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked one in the 88-pitch outing in front of the sellout crowd of 42,758, helping the Sox (16-17) extend their season-high winning streak to five games.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust a lot of strikes,\u201d manager Will Venable said. \u201cToday was the slider early, got a ton of swing and miss. Had a really nice fastball that got him through the backend of his start. Eighty-eight pitches and 66 strikes, he was in the zone all day, kept them off-balanced. A great job.\u201d<\/p>\n

The eight strikeouts are a season high for Burke, one of which came during a pivotal fifth inning. The Padres were threatening to break a scoreless tie with runners on first and second with one out. Center fielder Tristan Peters made a nice running catch to track down Ram\u00f3n Laureano\u2019s liner. Burke then struck out Fernando Tatis Jr. to get out of the jam.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked about if we got to that at-bat, we hadn\u2019t shown him anything up and in too much,\u201d Burke said. \u201cWe wanted to go spin early because he would probably be aggressive. I tried to get that second fastball a little more up than it did. I saw him swing through it middle so I knew I had room to climb up. I was able to execute that third one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sox third baseman Miguel Vargas broke the scoreless tie with a two-run single in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n

Peters began the rally in the sixth with a one-out walk. Designated hitter Andrew Benintendi reached on a bunt down the third-base line. Both runners advance on a Munetaka Murakami<\/a> groundout to first.<\/p>\n

With two outs, Vargas blooped a single to right field which brought home Peters and Benintendi.<\/p>\n

The Sox tacked on two more runs in the seventh inning. Second baseman Chase Meidroth singled and advanced to third on a Sam Antonacci double, the second hit of the night for the left fielder.<\/p>\n

The Padres brought the infield in, and catcher Edgar Quero singled to right. Meidroth scored on the hit, making it 3-0. Peters executed a safety squeeze later in the inning, bringing in Antonacci to extend the Sox lead to 4-0.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou love the longball, but you know you\u2019re not always going to have it,\u201d Venable said. \u201cToday was a great example of that where we grinded at-bats. The bunt was in play there, led to a couple of runs there with the Vargas blooper.<\/p>\n

\u201cHad the safety (squeeze) there (in the seventh) and some good situational hitting with Quero as well. Awesome job by the guys to continue to find ways to score.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sox survived a scare in the ninth. The Padres loaded the bases with no outs. Grant Taylor struck out former Sox first baseman\/outfielder Gavin Sheets looking following a challenge from Quero in which the call was reversed from a ball to strike three.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew for sure it was there,\u201d Quero said.<\/p>\n

Closer Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez got Miguel Andujar to fly out to shallow right field and struck out Luis Campusano swinging for his eighth save.<\/p>\n

The Sox have had an impressive series<\/a>, winning the first two against one of the top teams in the National League.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think for us it\u2019s not about who we\u2019re playing, it\u2019s about playing our game, it\u2019s about committing to the things we believe are important,\u201d Venable said. \u201cThese guys continue to bring energy on a daily basis and are able to get good results. It doesn\u2019t matter who we\u2019re playing, these guys believe in themselves and believe in their ability to go out and be competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN DIEGO \u2014 Sean Burke enjoys pitching at Petco Park.
