A four-run rally in the eighth inning, capped with a single by Eric Soderholm, carried the White Sox to a 6-5 victory over the Red Sox. Singles by Ralph Garr, Jorge Orta and Lamar Johnson accounted for the first run in the rally. After two out, Chet Lemon knocked in two runs with a double to tie the score before Soderholm delivered his winning single. [The Sporting News]
