CHICAGO -- A burger and colas make for a hearty meal anywhere in Chicago.

It also made for a winning combination in the White Sox 7-6 walk-off victory over the Orioles in 10 innings on Saturday afternoon at Guaranteed Rate Field. Burger and Col¨¢s with capital letters, that is, with Jake Burger launching a game-tying two-run home run in the sixth and Oscar Col¨¢s delivering the first walk-off hit of his career on a single to right that scored pinch-runner Seby Zavala in the 10th.

This young duo helped halt a three-game losing streak for the White Sox (6-9).

¡°Overall, it was a much needed win, a team win,¡± manager Pedro Grifol said. ¡°I love watching these guys celebrate on the field.¡±

¡°You¡¯re going to go through skids, and ours just happened to be earlier,¡± Burger said. ¡°You saw a lot of fight out there and a lot of guys coming through in big moments.¡±

Burger set up Col¨¢s in the 10th with a line-drive single to left that moved Zavala -- who entered as a pinch-runner after catcher Yasmani Grandal dropped a double down the left-field line to tie the game on the first pitch of the frame -- to third. It was Burger¡¯s sixth hit but first single of the season.

Burger¡¯s home run in the sixth carried 402 feet to left, but it had a little non-baseball emphasis behind it.

¡°I was pretty upset about Bournemouth beating Tottenham today, so I had to take out some aggression on the ball today,¡± said a smiling Burger. ¡°It¡¯s controlling what I can control and not trying to get too big. And it¡¯s been fun. Hopefully, I just keep it up and keep it going.¡±

¡°Even during [batting practice] we¡¯re usually in the same group, and watching him hitting in BP is impressive,¡± Col¨¢s said of Burger through interpreter Billy Russo. ¡°Now seeing him in the games is more impressive.¡±

While Burger is playing regularly at third base as Yo¨¢n Moncada works through a tight lower back, Col¨¢s has been the team¡¯s right fielder since Opening Day. Grifol has stressed that the development process for the 24-year-old is ongoing at the Major League level.

In fact, it¡¯s really just beginning. But the instructions from Grifol simply were for Col¨¢s to calm down and enjoy the game before he connected on a changeup low in the zone.

¡°He¡¯s got to go through this. It¡¯s simple,¡± Grifol said. ¡°He¡¯s going to be a really good player. And these are the situations that are going to expedite that. I was comfortable with him at the plate there, and if he doesn¡¯t get it done, the next guy will have to get it done.¡±

¡°Yes, it was definitely a very tense moment. But I went up there looking to make good contact, because I knew with the runner on third base, if I was able to make good contact I was going to be able to bring him in,¡± Col¨¢s said. ¡°That was a very important at-bat with a lot of pressure, and then for me to be able to come through in that moment was very important.¡±

It was a good enough moment to overcome the 10 walks issued by White Sox pitching, giving them a total of 19 free passes in the last two games. It¡¯s the most for them in a two-game span since April 24-26, 2022, when the team issued 20 walks with an off-day in between.

That walk issue is being addressed, although Grifol declined to go into specifics.

¡°We¡¯ve got to attack the strike zone,¡± Grifol said. ¡°But that¡¯s something on-going, and I¡¯ll keep that in-house.¡±

It was a good enough moment to overcome an 0-for-9 start with runners in scoring position, as Chicago went 3-for-3 with RISP in the 10th. It provided a crucial victory, giving the White Sox a chance at their first 2023 series win with ace-hurler Dylan Cease on the mound Sunday.

¡°Obviously, we came through,¡± Burger said. ¡°It just took us until the end.¡±

¡°Everybody knows what this team is capable of,¡± said starter Michael Kopech, who got a no-decision after yielding three runs on six hits and four walks over five-plus innings. ¡°Once it starts clicking all together, it's going to be a lot of fun to watch. Right now, we're having to pick each other up at different times, and it was good to see that work out today."
