The Chicago White Sox got a good effort from starter Ben Eckels in defeating the Boston Red Sox at Rate Field. The final score was 4-2. Eckels, now 3-5, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 6, walking 0, and allowing 2 runs. Steve Peters got the save, his 30th in 34 chances.
