LOS ANGELES—One swing of Freddie Freeman’s bat changed everything for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Coming off a 2–4 road trip, the Dodgers were in danger of losing a fourth consecutive series until Freeman singled to deep center field with the bases loaded in the 11th inning, giving them a 5–4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night.

Chris Taylor was the designated runner at second base to start the 11th. He took third on a passed ball by Yasmani Grandal. Miguel Rojas walked and Mookie Betts drew a 12-pitch walk against Garrett Crochet (0-1) to set up Freeman, who had been hitless in the series….
