White Sox Drop 2-0 Decision
The Chicago White Sox were defeated, 2-0, by the Pittsburgh Pirates at U.S. Cellular Field, even though Greg Hoppe pitched well for Chicago. Jose Acosta picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 4-1. Greg Hoppe, who is tied for 7th in the AL with a 3.87 ERA, was tagged with the loss. Pittsburgh is now 86-59, 12½ games up in the National League East Division.

Pittsburgh used the hitting of Kyle Damm to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Pirates on top, 2-0. For the game, Damm had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"There was no wiggle room in this one," said Damm.
