CHICAGO -- The 5-4 White Sox victory over the Rays Saturday night at Guaranteed Rate Field shaped up as a battle of talented young starters with Tampa Bay's Chris Archer against Carlos Rodon getting the start for the White Sox.

But neither pitcher factored in the White Sox ending their four-game losing streak. The Rays fell back under .500 at 68-69 and four games behind the Twins in the race for the second American League Wild Card spot.

Tampa Bay loaded the bases with nobody out in the ninth against Juan Minaya trailing by two runs, but Evan Longoria hit into a double play, and Logan Morrison, who hit his sixth homer in as many games in the sixth, struck out with Longoria on second.
