Derek Holland allowed 2 runs on 2 hits over 6 innings, striking out 8 Arizona batters. But he would suffer the hard luck 2-1 decision for San Francisco.

Nicky Delmonico got on base 3 times including a homer but the White Sox kept stranding runners in scoring position and could not get past Tampa, 5-4.
