A J Pierzynski had a big 2-run home run for the White Sox in the bottom of the second inning. With Chicago leading 1-0 and a runner on 3rd, he got a curveball from Bill Holland and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 13th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the White Sox ahead, 3-0.

"Juan had good stuff. When he did get into a compromising count, he made the most of it," said Chicago manager .
