White Sox Rally in 8th to Win 9th Straight

CHICAGO (AP) -- Alexei Ramirez drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out infield single in the eighth inning Friday night and the Chicago White Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 7-4 for their ninth straight win. The White Sox scored three times in the eighth, helped by a Mariners misplay. Paul Konerko led off with a fly and the ball glanced off center fielder Michael Saunders' glove and then hit him for a two-base error. With two outs and runners at the corners, Ramirez hit a slow grounder to shortstop Brendan Ryan and beat the throw as pinch-runner Brent Lillibridge scored. Alejandro De Aza added a two-run single. Addison Reed pitched the ninth for his seventh save in as many chances. Jesse Crain (1-0) got the win. Shawn Kelly (0-2) took the loss. (Copyright 2012 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
