Brandon Woodruff pitched into the seventh inning and Tyrone Taylor keyed a go-ahead rally with a two-run double to lift the Milwaukee Brewers past the host Chicago White Sox, 3-2, on Saturday.

Milwaukee won for the third straight game while maintaining a 2 1/2-game lead atop the National League Central.

White Sox rookie right-hander Jesse Scholtens baffled the Brewers for the first six innings before the visitors struck for three runs in the seventh.

Mark Canha walked and Andruw Monasterio singled ahead of Taylor's game-tying, two-run double to left-center field. Taylor scored the go-ahead run on William Contreras' single against reliever Bryan Shaw two batters later.

Woodruff (2-1) earned his first victory since April 7 behind 6 1/3 innings of two-run, four-hit ball, with one walk and five strikeouts. Saturday marked just his fourth start and second since the Brewers activated him from the 60-day injured list (right elbow inflammation).

Chicago opened the scoring in the third inning. Gavin Sheets led off with a double, advanced to third base on an Oscar Colas single and scored on an Elvis Andrus groundout one batter later.

Yoan Moncada connected for a solo home run in the White Sox sixth, delivering his fourth long ball of the season and first since June 8. Moncada and Sheets had two hits apiece.

Scholtens pitched a career-high 6 1/3 innings, but his late struggles saddled him with the loss. Scholtens (1-5) scattered three runs and six hits, with three walks and five strikeouts.

Monasterio went 2-for-4 to spark Milwaukee's seven-hit effort.

Devin Williams worked around a leadoff single in the ninth to earn his 28th save in 31 chances. Three Milwaukee relievers combined to retire eight of the nine batters they faced.

White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. missed his second straight start as he recovers from a sprained pinky finger on his right hand. Robert sustained the injury during Wednesday's win against the New York Yankees.
