White Sox Pull Out Late Win, 7-6
The Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals, 7-6. Doing his part was second baseman Kurt Rester, who was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Chicago reliever Nagateru Nagashima snagged the win, upping his record to 3-2. Mike Blakely shouldered the loss. Chicago has won 3 straight, while Kansas City has lost 3 in a row.

Rester had a game-changing double in the top of the ninth. On a 1-1 fastball from Mike Blakely, he banged a 2-run double to center, giving the White Sox a 7-6 lead. It was the 17th double of the year for Rester.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Rester.
