Albers helps White Sox outlast Mets in 13

Jacob deGrom and Miguel Gonzalez each walked away with no-decisions, but both pitched well enough to earn a victory. deGrom struck out 10 -- his 10th career double-digit strikeout game -- over seven innings, but made one mistake to White Sox third baseman Todd Frazier, who led off the seventh with his Major League-leading 17th home run.

Gonzalez allowed just one run himself -- an RBI single by Mets catcher Rene Rivera -- on three hits and five walks over five innings while striking out four.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Unlikely producer: Rivera is mostly known for his defense behind the plate, but on Wednesday he provided the only offense for New York with his RBI single in the second. Rivera entered Wednesday's contest batting .148, with just a .100 average (1-for-10) with runners in scoring position.

Limit the damage: deGrom allowed Frazier to hit his second home run in as many days to lead off the seventh, but the White Sox threatened to add more later in the inning. Brett Lawrie hit a sharp ground ball with one away and legged out a double and then J.B. Shuck walked, but deGrom was able to get Tyler Saladino to line out before striking out Alex Avila with a 3-2 curveball to get out of the jam.

Shutting them down: With the bases loaded and two out in the sixth, White Sox right-hander Zach Putnam was called upon to replace Dan Jennings and face Rivera. Putnam threw the first pitch out of the zone but came back to strike out Rivera on the next three pitches and end the threat.

Keeping it close: Gonzalez has a 0-7 record over 14 starts since his last victory on July 25, 2015, with the Orioles. But once again, the right-hander gave the White Sox a chance on Wednesday. He allowed one run on three hits over five innings and worked around three leadoff walks by inducing three double plays.

REPLAY REVIEW
Melky Cabrera had a bead on a James Loney foul ball drifting toward the stands down the left-field line with one out and one on in the sixth inning and leapt toward the wall to try and make the catch. Cabrera failed to come up with the ball but immediately pointed to the crowd to indicate there was fan interference. The call on the field was that there was none, but the White Sox used a manager's challenge. After a two-minute and 40-second review, the call was reversed and Loney was ruled out.

WHAT'S NEXT
White Sox: Carlos Rodon (2-4, 4.24 ERA) makes his 11th start of the season as the White Sox return to American League Central action following a scheduled off-day for Friday's opener in Detroit at 6:10 p.m. CT. Six of Rodon's 10 starts this season have been quality.

Mets: New York will get the day off on Thursday before kicking off a three-game series in Miami on Friday at 7:10 ET. Noah Syndergaard will get the start after being ejected for throwing behind Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley in his last start. The right-hander has yet to lose against a National League East opponent.
