He tossed 98 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits. Chicago goes to 3-5.

Byron Buxton had a key at-bat with two out in the bottom of the sixth for Chicago. With the bases loaded and the White Sox leading 5-4, he got hit by a pitch, driving in 1 run.

In postgame comments to the Chicago Daily News, Buxton said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
