Willy Adames delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the host Milwaukee Brewers a 4-3 comeback victory over Chicago on Saturday, handing the White Sox their 10th consecutive defeat.
William Contreras opened the 10th as the automatic runner against Michael Kopech (1-5). Christian Yelich was walked intentionally to open and both runners advanced on a wild pitch.

Hoby Milner (3-0) tossed a perfect 10th inning for the victory.
Chicago, off to the worst 58-game start in franchise history, has lost 14 of its past 15 games and 16 of its past 19.
