Colson Montgomery delivered a go-ahead RBI double and Sean Burke wiggled out of trouble into the sixth inning as the White Sox began a key seven-game road trip with an 8-2 win over the Orioles on Monday night at Camden Yards. To begin this season, the talk again has been the power display from Montgomery, who reached 20 homers in his first 275 at-bats for the second consecutive season. Last year, he hit No. 20 in his 247th at-bat during his impressive rookie season. But in the top of the eighth inning against Baltimore, the White Sox shortstop came up with a different kind of extra-base hit that broke a 2-2 deadlock, driving a Grant Wolfram slider deep to center field that bounced up against the wall. The relay home was not in time to get a sliding Sam Antonacci, and the White Sox led, 3-2. “There's always something to contribute,” manager Will Venable said. “Colson's a great example where maybe not feeling his best the last couple of days, grinding and doing everything he can to do his job there. And he came through in a big way.” Randal Grichuk smacked a line drive to center for an RBI single. Montgomery appeared to be tagged out at home plate on Colton Cowser’s 96.6 mph relay throw, but catcher Adley Rutschman dropped the ball and Montgomery was safe for a 4-2 lead. The South Siders poured it on with a four-run ninth, highlighted by four straight hits alternating singles and doubles. Jacob Gonzalez’s two-run single made it 6-2. Kyle Teel’s ground ball went through the legs of third baseman Blaze Alexander and scored two more. Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs scored. Right-hander Grant Taylor came on to throw two scoreless innings and left-hander Brandon Eisert put down the Orioles in order in the ninth with three strikeouts, the last one to Alexander a called third strike on an ABS challenge. “It’s some of the stuff that we’ve said all year,” Montgomery said. “Everyone is very capable of coming up clutch, I guess you could say, of getting the job done, driving a guy in. “Even my at-bat, I think \[Miguel\
