White Sox Get Clutch Win Versus Tampa Bay
Extra innings were needed to determine a winner at Tropicana Field.

The Tampa Bay Rays could not turn a fine performance from left fielder Eric Cox into a win. Instead, the Chicago White Sox prevailed, 7-6, in 10 innings. Cox hit 3 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored three times. The win was credited to 25-year old right-handed pitcher Tim Brown in relief. His record improves to 4-3. Héctor Saldaña took the loss. Steve Peters was credited with the save for Chicago, his 36th of the season.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Jorge Salinas to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the White Sox on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Took some scratching and clawing," said Salinas. "But we got it done."

The victory gives Chicago a record of 58-54.
