White Sox Claim Late Win
The Toronto Blue Jays could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Mike Williams into a win. Instead, the Chicago White Sox prevailed, 5-2. Williams threw 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball. With the win, Chicago goes to 75-38, while the Blue Jays fall to 58-53.

Chicago used the clutch hitting of Ben Gibbons to snag the win. The right fielder drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the White Sox ahead, 3-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

Gibbons said afterward that "winning is the goal."
