All three of Semien’s home runs this season have given the White Sox the lead in the seventh inning or later. … RHP Taylor Thompson threw 2.0 scoreless innings out of the bullpen on Sunday to extend his scoreless innings streak to 14.0. He last allowed a run on May 6 to Lehigh Valley. Over the streak Thompson has allowed just one hit while fanning 16. During the month of May, Thompson went 1-0 with a 0.61 ERA in nine games (14.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 16 SO).
