Rocky Thompson never let Kansas City get something going. The Chicago right-hander commanded his slider in pitching the White Sox to a 1-0 win. Thompson got the win, improving to 4-3. He gave up 3 hits and walked 2 over 5.2 innings. He allowed no runs. Steve Peters collected save number 14.

The White Sox got a big at-bat from left fielder António García. For the game, García was 1 for 4 with a home run. In the bottom of the second, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 5th home run of the season gave Chicago a 1-0 lead.

"I just try to go out and give it 100 percent every game," Thompson told a local reporter after the game. "That's my mantra, and like today, it will pay off more often than not."

Kansas City, at 19-25, has lost 5 straight.
