Belle Slam Brings Sox Close But Playoff Hopes Fading
Belle hit a team record fourth grand slam to put Chicago ahead in the ninth, but Boston tied on two pinch homers. Thomas drove in the winning run in the 10th as the White Sox beat the Red Sox 5-4 in extras, yet remain under .500 with slim playoff chances. Garciaparra set a rookie total bases mark with two doubles and one run.
