The relief pitching of Clay Carroll and Dave Hamilton enabled the White Sox to end their four-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Royals. Carroll took over with one out in the second inning after the Royals had scored two runs off Terry Forster.

When the Royals pushed over another run in the eighth, Hamilton came in to save the game. Jorge Orta batted in two runs and Jack Brohamer hit a homer for the White Sox, who snapped the Royals' five-game winning streak. [The Sporting News]
