Liam Hicks hit a solo homer for Miami in its 10th loss in 12 games. Meyer (2-4) was charged with five runs and five hits in 6 1/3 innings.
Cam Booser (1-3), the third of five Chicago relievers, got his first win with the club. Bryse Wilson pitched five innings of one-run ball.

Josh Rojas scored on Cade Gibson's wild pitch in the eighth, giving Chicago a 6-2 lead.
The White Sox drew just one walk through the first six innings but earned three during the decisive seventh.
