The White Sox scored the first run in the top of the first inning. After one out, Anderson and Robert's consecutive hits created first and third base opportunities. Then, at Jimenez's at-bat, Sandoval's wild pitch came out and Anderson came home. Robert advanced to second base. However, Sandoval did not lose any additional points as he handled Jimenez with a fly ball to second base and Bourne with a ground ball to shortstop.

After Thais hit a hit, Renfro hit a two-run home run to widen the gap.

Jimenez stepped down with a grounder to first base, but Vaughan hit a timely triple with an RBI. After Grandal stepped down with a grounder to second base, Jacob Webb's wild pitch came from Berger's at-bat, and Bourne came home to make it 9-5.
