at Chicago 4, Baltimore 3: Mark Buehrle (10-3) pitched into the eighth inning, Jermaine Dye hit a go-ahead two-run homer and the White Sox pulled within 1 1/2 games of AL Central-leading Detroit -- the closest they’ve been to the division lead since May 3.

Tampa Bay 4, at Kansas City 2: Willy Aybar was four for four, including an RBI double for the go-ahead run in the eighth, as the Royals wasted a good effort by Zack Greinke, who departed after seven innings with a 2-1 lead.
