White Sox Fall to Senators 6 5 in Chicago
Eddie Foster's ninth inning triple drove in two runs to lift Washington over Chicago 6 to 5 in the opening game of the series. Erratic Washington play and timely hits sparked Chicago’s early scoring, and Gharrity's error set up a late Chicago threat. Johnson’s cautious base running may have saved the game for the Senators.
