Miguel Vargas Delivers 2-RBI Single To Lift White Sox
Miguel Vargas broke a scoreless tie on Saturday with a two-RBI single in the sixth inning and helped the White Sox to a win over the Padres. He finished 1-for-4 with two RBI, a line that fit the latest step in his turnaround after a slow start to the season.
Miguel Vargas Drives In Two
Vargas delivered the swing that changed the game. His single in the sixth brought in two runs and opened the scoring against San Diego, giving Chicago the edge it needed to finish with the win.
The White Sox did not have a cushion before that at-bat. Vargas turned a scoreless game into a lead with one swing, and that was the only offense the team needed to break through on Saturday.
White Sox Get Production
His recent numbers explain why this hit carried more weight than a single box-score line. Over his last 15 games, Vargas has gone 16-for-58 with a.276 batting average, five homers, 10 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases.
That stretch stands in sharp contrast to the start of the season, when he struggled to get going. Since mid-April, he has put together a much stronger run at the plate, and Saturday added another game in which he supplied the decisive damage.
Padres Leave Sixth Inning Empty
San Diego held Chicago scoreless through five innings before Vargas broke the tie. The White Sox needed only that sixth-inning single to create separation, then carried it the rest of the way.
For Chicago, the value is simple: one player’s recent production is now showing up in games that decide outcomes. Vargas has gone from an early-season slump to a 15-game stretch built on power, contact and timely RBI, and Saturday was the latest example.
