Steve Castleberry impressed in the 5-4 Chicago win over Cincinnati. Castleberry, who finished 5th in the AL in slugging percentage with .612 in 2042, was 2-4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Xenophon Valvis, the winner, improved to 12-11. He held the Reds to 1 run on 4 hits over 5.2 innings, while striking out 7 and walking 1. Inkei Wakamatsu got credit for the save for Chicago. It was his 16th of the year.

With Chicago leading 3-1 in the top of the third, Castleberry hit a splitter from Edwin Pacheco for a 2-run home run. It was his 13th home run of the season and put the White Sox ahead, 5-1.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Castleberry said.

Chicago leads the American League Central Division by 22½ games.
