Freddie Freeman drilled the decisive single with one out in the bottom of the 11th inning to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 5-4 victory over the visiting Chicago White Sox on Thursday night.

Freeman's bases-loaded hit landed in deep left center and Chris Taylor easily scored from third as the Dodgers won two of the three games in the series.

Taylor belted a tying grand slam in the sixth for his 100th career homer.

Taylor started the 11th inning on second as the runner and moved to third on a passed ball by Chicago catcher Yasmani Grandal. Miguel Rojas walked and Mookie Betts also walked after a 12-pitch battle with Garrett Crochet (0-1). Freeman then delivered on a 3-1 fastball.

Luis Robert Jr. and Jake Burger both homered for the second straight night as the White Sox went deep four times.

Robert and Eloy Jimenez hit consecutive homers in the first inning and Burger and Andrew Vaughn went back-to-back in the fourth as Chicago grabbed a 4-0 lead.
