CHICAGO -- José Abreu has taken hot streaks to another level.

The White Sox first baseman homered three times during his team’s 7-4 victory over the Cubs, putting him ahead of Magglio Ordonez for sole possession of fifth place on the franchise long-ball list at 189.

Abreu’s sixth-inning home run off of Kyle Hendricks gave the White Sox a 3-2 lead, and his two-run blast in the eighth off Rowan Wick gave the White Sox breathing room. He closed his power show with a solo shot off Duane Underwood Jr. in the ninth to ice it.

When he arrived at the postgame Zoom call, an elated Abreu flashed a broad smile and held up three fingers to represent his night’s work.

“I have hit three homers in a day, but not in the same game,” said Abreu through interpreter Billy Russo. “Right now, I’m just blessed, blessed to be on this team with these teammates.”

He also received high praise from his counterpart in the other dugout.

“Just a lot of respect. A lot of respect. I mean, he does it every single year -- year in and year out.” said Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo. “Year in and year out, he has been one of the most underrated first basemen in the game, in my opinion. Just every year, he's close to .300, he's got over 100 RBIs, 30-plus homers and it's just, his approach is solid. He's great to talk to over there at first base.”

Abreu has hit five home runs in the two games against the Cubs, while the Cubs have three extra-base hits in total. Abreu is the sixth player in White Sox history with multiple homers in back-to-back games, joining Matt Davidson (2018), Carlos Quentin (2010), Joe Crede (2008), Greg Norton (1999) and Zeke Bonura (1934). Saturday marked his first career three-homer game, and he became the 15th player in franchise history to accomplish such a feat.

It was Abreu’s 13th career four-hit game. It also was his 16th career game with four-plus RBIs. During Abreu's last seven games, he is 16-for-30 with seven homers and 15 RBIs.

Luis Robert also homered off Hendricks in the second, and Yasmani Grandal took Underwood deep in the ninth. The White Sox have hit 11 homers in two games at Wrigley, and they’ve hit 27 home runs and scored 54 runs in their past 54 innings. The 27 home runs over seven games are a Major League record.

Abreu’s feat supported Reynaldo López and Gio González, who combined to hold the struggling Cubs to two hits over the first seven innings and propel the South Siders to their seventh straight victory. At 17-11 overall, the White Sox are six games over .500 for the first time since they were 27-21 in 2016.

“They’re demolishing baseballs,” González said. “It’s a tough lineup, all the way to the bottom. The guys on the bench, too, they’re itching to get at the bat rack. These guys must have been born next to a nuclear power plant. It’s impressive to see -- one through nine, a lineup you hope they hit it at somebody or get themselves out. It’s fun to watch.”

It wasn’t fun for Hendricks.

“It's just more where we caught them right now,” said Hendricks. “They're playing really good right now, putting together good at-bats. They had a good plan against me.”

López made his first start since exiting in the first inning of his season debut against the Twins on July 26, having allowed a Jake Cave grand slam and then going on the injured list shortly thereafter with right shoulder soreness. López opened Saturday’s game by issuing a five-pitch walk to Ian Happ, and then he hit Willson Contreras and walked Jason Heyward to begin the second, with Victor Caratini doubling home the two to tie the game at 2. López regrouped to retire the last seven batters he faced before being lifted at 50 pitches, yielding two runs over 3 1/3 innings and striking out four.

“I felt good, and I think that’s most important,” said López through Russo. “I didn’t feel any pain, and I don’t feel any pain right now. I’m very happy to come back and do my job. I feel ready to go deep into the games. I feel like I can throw 100-plus pitches.”

González earned his first win with the White Sox, throwing 3 2/3 scoreless innings and fanning two while allowing one hit. He issued a two-out walk to Jason Kipnis in the seventh, leading to a mound visit from manager Rick Renteria. González stayed in the game and retired David Bote on a fly ball caught by Eloy Jiménez at the warning track.
