White Sox Trip Astros, 4-3, in Extra Innings
The Chicago White Sox picked up a win at Astrodome, knocking off the Houston Astros, 4-3, in 10 innings. On the mound for Chicago was right-hander Esteban Loaiza. He played a pivotal role in the triumph. Brett Merriman picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 2-2. Anthony Chavez suffered the loss. The save was credited to Jeff Hirsch, his 1st.

Chad Townsend came through with a big-time hit for Chicago. The pinch hitter smacked a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to give his team the lead, 4-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"It was a test of wills," said Brian Rios, the Chicago skipper. "I'm glad we came out of it with a win."

Chicago now owns a record of 46-37.
