Hitting his first two major league homers, Greg Pryor drove in all the runs for the White Sox in a 3-2 victory over the Mariners. The rookie second baseman accounted for the initial run with a drive in the first inning. After the Mariners counted twice in the second with the aid of doubles by Leroy Stanton and Kevin Pasley, the White Sox came back to win when Claudell Washington doubled in the third and Pryor hit his second homer.
