Rays Stumble, Lose 8-7 to White Sox
The Chicago White Sox knocked off the Tampa Bay Rays, 8-7, in American League action at U.S. Cellular Field. Chicago pitcher and Lakeland, Florida, native Chris Sale had an outstanding performance. Scott Radinsky earned his 1st save, after closing out the game. Chicago, now 92-66, holds down first place in the American League Central Division.

The White Sox got an important contribution from shortstop Luke Appling, who in the bottom of the sixth knocked a 0-2 fastball to right for a run-scoring double. It was his 33rd double of the season and put the White Sox ahead, 8-2.

"There's a lot in this game you can't control. Just take what the game gives you. I was just doing my best to help the team win," Sale told the Chicago Daily.
