White Sox Deal Nationals 2-1 Defeat
Chicago White Sox starter Mike Kelly hurled his team past the Washington Nationals, 2-1. Kelly, now 11-10, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 7, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. Steve Peters notched his 29th save in 35 chances.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Byron Buxton to capture the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the White Sox on top, 2-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

"Mike was throwing strikes, locating well," said Chicago manager Fredi Gonzalez.

With the win, Chicago has a record of 78-82. Washington falls to 84-76.
