CHICAGO -- For one night, the Chicago White Sox had all facets of their game working together.

Beckham had three hits, John Danks pitched into the eighth inning and the White
Sox snapped the Baltimore Orioles four-game winning streak with a 5-2 victory
Tuesday night. Gillaspies homer snapped a 1-1 tie in the sixth, and Dunns 22nd,
a two-run homer in the seventh, gave Chicago a 5-1 lead. Addison Reed pitched a
scoreless ninth for his 22nd save in 26 attempts. Chicago ended a five-game
losing streak and avoided falling a season-high 16 games below .500. And the
White Sox managed to win by playing the kind of clean game they havent for most
of the season. The White Sox made no errors, their bullpen was solid, the
pitching was strong, and the offence produced. It all added up to a needed
victory against one of baseballs hottest teams. "Its nice," White Sox manager
Robin Ventura said. "Weve had some tough nights here the last few." The White
Sox have lost 23 of their past 32 and are in last place in the American League
Central. Danks (2-5), who earned his first win since beating Oakland on June 8,
allowing two runs and six hits and seven innings with four strikeouts, knows
what kind of hole the White Sox have dug for themselves. "We know how good we
are. We know weve got a hell of a road ahead of us. We did it to ourselves,"
Danks said. "But at the same time, we know how capable we are of going on a run.
We just hope that were able to do it starting now. We know were running out of
time." Baltimore took a 1-0 lead with one out in the third when Brian Roberts
hit his first home run of the season after coming off the disabled list Sunday.
Roberts homer, on Danks first pitch of the at-bat, was his first since April 13,
2011, against the Yankees. That was all the production Baltimore got off the
White Sox until a run in the eighth. "(Danks) didnt present many opportunities.
He had a good tempo and we knew what he was going to try to do and he did it,"
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Thats a tribute to him and the good stuff
he took out there tonight. He had a good change-up." Chicagos offence gave Danks
more than he needed. Chicago tied the game in the bottom of the fourth on
Beckhams one-out single to left. The White Sox took a 2-1 lead on Gillaspies
one-out homer in the sixth. On a 1-0 pitch, Gillaspie hit his sixth homer of the
season, a line drive that landed in the right-field corner. Chicago scored three
times in the seventh, capped by Dunns 427-foot, two-run homer. The homer was
Dunns 428th of his career, passing Mike Piazza for 45th all time, and gave
Chicago a 5-1 lead on the second of two homers off Jason Hammel (7-5), the 17th
and 18th hes allowed this year. "I dont really know how to answer that. Its just
balls that are up in the zone that get hit out this year that werent last year,"
said Hammel, who pitched seven innings and gave up five runs and nine hits. "Its
kind of just the way Im going right now. The mistakes are being amplified."
Tuesdays game capped a busy day for the Orioles, who acquired starting pitcher
Scott Feldman and catcher Steve Clevenger from the Cubs for starter Jake
Arrieta, reliever Pedro Strop, and two international signing bonus slots.
Feldman, who signed a one-year deal with the Cubs last off-season and is 7-6
with a 3.46 ERA, is expected to start Wednesday for the Orioles. Beckham hopes
Tuesday is the start of a run for the White Sox, one they need to get back into
the race. "Show up tomorrow and try to win tomorrow and see what happens,"
Beckham said. "Ten game winning streaks have happened before, so well continue
to show up and do the work and hopefully get on a roll here." NOTES: Paul
Konerko was the White Soxs designated hitter and went 0 for 4 after missing six
games with lower back tightness. ... The White Sox signed 16-year-old Dominican
outfielder Micker Adolfo Zapata to a contract that included a $1.6 million
signing bonus, the largest in team history for an international signing. ... The
White Sox appointed former slugger Jim Thome to a position as special assistant
to general manager Rick Hahn. Thome, who last played for Baltimore in 2012, will
work with players at all levels throughout the organization. ... With Feldman
pitching Wednesday against Chicagos Hector Santiago (3-5, 3.59), the Orioles
will start Zach Britton on Thursday and push Miguel Gonzalez to Friday in New
York against the Yankees. ... Baltimores Wei-Yin Chen will make a rehab start
Thursday for Double-A Bowie and the team hopes he will get to 90 pitches. Chen
has been on the disabled list since May 14 with a strained right oblique.

basket in the second overtime as Rutgers rallied to stun No.BOSTON --
Daric Barton didnt bat and barely got on the field. He still made the
game-saving play. Yoenis Cespedes drove in the go-ahead run on an infield single
with the bases loaded in the 10th and Barton, playing first, cut down the
potential tying run at third in the bottom of the inning as the Athletics
averted a three-game sweep with a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. "He
made a terrific play," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "Thats a gutsy play.
Thats a play that if the runner gets over, they can win the game with a hit. A
gutsy play." Bostons Will Middlebrooks opened the inning with a single and
advanced to second on the hit when centre fielder Coco Crisp had the ball bounce
away for an error. With Barton playing in, guarding for a bunt, Jackie Bradley
Jr. bounced it to first. Barton fired to third, cutting down Middlebrooks. "My
whole goal was obviously to get the guy at third whether it was a bunt or a
ground ball to me," Barton said. "It feels good. Ive learned to be ready.
Anything can happen at any time, but Ive learned to be ready when they call my
name and go out there and do my job." Barton came in when Josh Reddick left with
a sprained ankle in the ninth. Jim Johnson (3-2) then got Dustin Pedroia to
bounce into a game-ending double play. Middlebrooks was somewhat surprised and
impressed by the play. "I was breaking off the bat. I didnt know it was to his
right, to his left or right at him. Unfortunately it was right at him," he said.
"This is the big leagues. People are supposed to make plays like that. Normally
you dont see a first baseman that far in, but he made a good play. Hats off to
him." Oakland closed a 10-game road trip 5-5 and avoided its second three-game
sweep in its last four series. The Athletics were swept at home by Texas April
21-23. "Barton makes a heck of a heads-up play to cut down Will going to third,"
Boston manager John Farrell said. "Theyre playing in. Hes got to trust in his
abilities. He throws a strike across the diamond to cut down Will."
A.J. Pierzynski hit a solo homer for the Red Sox, who failed to reach .500 for
the first time since the fourth game of the season. Jed Lowrie had a two-out
double off Chris Capuano (1-1) and after the bases were loaded with an
intentional and regular walk, Cespedes beat out a slow roller to third against
reliever Burke Badenhop.

the ninth. With the Red Sox trailing 2-1 in the seventh, Pierzynski homered into
Bostons bullpen. It could have been worse for the Athletics when right fielder
Reddick had trouble with pinch hitter Gomes fly ball in the wind. He was charged
with an error, allowing runners to reach second and third with one out. But
reliever Fernando Abad got Bradley Jr. out at first on his attempted safety
squeeze and Luke Gregerson retired Pedroia. Boston starter John Lackey gave up
two runs on five hits in six innings, walking three and striking out four.
Oaklands Sonny Gray also pitched six, giving up two runs and six hits, walking
two with three strikeouts. Cespedes gave Oakland a 2-1 edge in the sixth with an
RBI double off the Green Monster. The Athletics grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first
on Brandon Moss two-out RBI single. Grady Sizemores RBI double tied it in the
fifth, but Gray escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam when Bradley bounced into a
1-2-3 double play. In the third, Boston shortstop Xander Bogaerts relay from
shallow left cut down Donaldson trying to score. Crew chief Jeff Kellogg
requested a replay review to see if catcher Pierzynski was illegally blocking
the plate. Replays showed he moved his foot and blocked the corner just before
he caught the throw, knocking Donaldsons foot away as it attempted to reach
home. The play was upheld. Melvin challenged a call on the first pitch of the
game -- when Crisp was called out on a 5-6-3 grounder. Replays were ruled
inconclusive. NOTES: Reddick limped off after grounding into a DP. ... Boston DH
