The go-ahead run came late into the game as the White Sox struggled to plate runners against Minnesota's Phil Hughes. The right-hander allowed just two runs but gave up eight hits in seven innings of work. Hughes didn't get much help from his offense after the first inning, as Chicago starter Jeff Samardzija didn't allow a hit after the second inning. Samardzija struck out nine in eight innings before reliever David Robertson finished with the save, ending a three-game losing streak.
