The Yankees had grabbed a 3-1 lead in the top of the 10th on Giancarlo Stanton's two-run homer off Tyler Danish. But Jose Abreu tied the game in the bottom half of the frame with a two-run shot to right-center off Zach Britton. Abreu, who previously had three of the 20 strikeouts by White Sox hitters on Tuesday, was down to his final two strikes. Lopez ultimately lost his piece of no-hitter history when Aaron Hicks doubled just out of the reach of left fielder Ryan LaMarre to lead off the frame, and Lopez finished with a no-decision. But his effort was anything but non-descript. "I was feeling good," said Lopez through interpreter Billy Russo. "My arm was loose, was strong and that was a big factor in my performance today. "It doesn't matter what team you're facing. I think you need to be focused every time, all the time against every team." The White Sox right-hander threw fastballs on 68 of his 98 pitches, touching 98.9 mph, according to Statcast™. He often overpowered the New York hitters on his way to six strikeouts but also recorded seven swinging strikes on his slider before exiting with one run allowed over seven innings. It was the second straight quality start for Lopez, who has allowed three runs over his last 14 innings. Andujar's first-pitch home run in the seventh provided the Yankees' only run off Lopez. They had a chance in the sixth with runners on first and third and nobody out, but Gregorius popped out to shortstop Tim Anderson, Gleyber Torres flied out to center fielder Adam Engel with the runners holding and Greg Bird struck out. "His life was right from the get-go. Velocity was up, attacking the zone, got in some traffic, could have fallen apart but fought right through it," said White Sox manager Rick Renteria of Lopez. "That's a good ballclub and he worked, managed them as well as he could. He did an extremely nice job." Engel caught everything within his reach and some out of his reach to support Lopez. After taking away a three-run homer from Bird with a leaping catch Monday, Engel one-upped himself on Tuesday by taking a home run away from Kyle Higashioka with one out in the fifth. Engel raced to the left-center-field wall, timing his leap perfectly to grab the drive at the apex of his jump. After Engel made that catch, Lopez said that he wanted to drop his glove and run and "kiss him." Engel laughed upon hearing the comment, adding Lopez settled for hugging him instead. "Tough game tonight against a really good ballclub," Renteria said. "Our guys battled. The guys kept battling and did what they needed to do." SOUND SMART Per STATS, Lopez became the fifth White Sox pitcher to carry a no-hitter into the sixth inning or beyond this season. He joins Carlos Rodon (5 2/3 innings at Angels on July 24), Dylan Covey (5 1/3 at Seattle on July 21), Lucas Giolito (5 1/3 vs. Twins on June 28) and James Shields (6 1/3 vs. Twins on May 6). YOU GOTTA SEE THIS Abreu became the 18th player in Major League history to hit 20-plus home runs in each of his first five seasons. Pete Incaviglia (1986-90), Eddie Murray (1977-81), Tony Conigliaro (1964-69), Ted Williams (1939-42, 1946) and Joe DiMaggio (1936-40) are the only players to accomplish the feat exclusively in the American League. It was Abreu's first career extra-inning home run in 56 career extra-inning plate appearances. HE SAID IT "Yesterday Ricky was in a meeting with the hitters and I passed through and I heard something that sticks with me: 'It doesn't matter what team you're facing, you need to do your best and you need to be ready to perform at your best.' That was something that resonated with me." – Lopez UP NEXT Right-hander Giolito (7-8, 5.97 ERA) is scheduled to make his 23rd start of 2018, his 12th at home and the first of his career against the New York Yankees for Wednesday's series finale with a 7:10 p.m. CT first pitch. Luis Severino is set to pitch for New York. Giolito is 2-1 with a 3.19 ERA, and .198 opponents average over his last five starts. Engel haunts Yanks with another great catch By Scott Merkin / MLB.com / August 7, 2018 CHICAGO -- White Sox center fielder Adam Engel didn't wait long to top his home run-robbing catch turned in Monday night against Greg Bird, as he did the same to the Yankees' Kyle Higashioka in the fifth inning Tuesday during New York's 4-3 victory over the White Sox in 13 innings. Higashioka crushed a 96 mph fastball from Reynaldo Lopez 394 feet to left-center, with a hit probability of 88 percent. But once again, Engel raced back and timed his leap even better on this effort by grabbing the ball at the top of his jump and preventing the would-be home run from clearing the fence. That Engel effort preserved Lopez's no-hit bid into the sixth, when Aaron Hicks broke it up with a leadoff double. "Tonight it kind of felt surreal," Engel said. "It was like I can't believe I had another opportunity to make a play like that. Just a crazy coincidence it happened in back-to-back nights. Any time you make a nice play for your pitcher, it's always fun. "It was really strange how similar the play was. Both of them were pretty high-hit balls and I had time to get back to the wall and they came down at like a similar angle. Just had to jump up and bring it back, so it was really kind of spooky how weird, how similar both those plays were." Engel, who added a bunt single leading off the bottom of the fifth, added a nice running catch coming in on a Gleyber Torres fly ball for the second out in the sixth. Not only did Engel make the play, but he also held Hicks at third with a perfect throw to catcher Omar Narvaez. But it was the first catch rightfully leading his night's highlights. "I just wanted to take off my glove and go out there and kiss him," said a smiling Lopez through interpreter Billy Russo, with a postgame assessment making Thyago Vieira laugh in the locker next to Lopez. "Right off the bat, you see how high it is and then as you are going back maybe a couple of steps into it, you realize it might be a play around the wall," Engel said. "Then a couple of more steps and you get a feel for where the wall is and that's when you make your decision: Is this going to be a home run or give an effort on it? As you get closer, you have a better idea if it's a play you have a chance at or not." Here's a 2018 surprise for all 30 MLB teams By Richard Justice / MLB.com / August 7, 2018 This isn't about what we expected to happen.

LOUIS -- The Reds have every reason to take a moment and savor the flavor of a rare series win at Busch Stadium. Sunday's 8- 0 victory over the Cardinals not only gave Cincinnati two of three games, but also just its fourth series win out of the last 29 at St. Louis since 2006. It was July 27-29, 2015, when the Reds last came to town and took a series from the Cardinals. Sunday's win was powered by Adam Duvall's 3-for-4, two-RBI game while starting pitcher Scott Feldman cruised with six-plus scoreless innings, allowing four hits with one walk and collecting six strikeouts for his first win with the Reds. More > "It's not facing demons and ghosts of series in years past. Our team is better than it's been in the last few years, with a lot of new guys that just want to come in and play baseball, play hard and play well," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "We pitched two shutouts here. Not only is that unlikely, but to come in here and be able to do and extract two wins is a big deal for us in the early start of a season." Coming off of 7 1/3 scoreless innings and 10 strikeouts on Opening Day vs.
