Rios homers to help White Sox cool off Rays
CHICAGO – With so much riding on every game and even every pitch, Alex Rios acknowledged it's just a little exhausting. He can breathe a little easier after this.
Rios hit his career-high 25th homer and the Chicago White Sox gave their playoff hopes a major boost, beating Tampa Bay 3-1 on Friday night to end the Rays' eight-game winning streak.
The White Sox got a bit of a reprieve after dropping eight of nine and moved within one game of first-place Detroit in the AL Central. The Tigers lost to Minnesota 4-2.
