Gar Martinez, the Chicago designated hitter, contributed a 2-run single in the bottom of the fifth inning to make the score 2-0, White Sox. For the game, Martinez was 2 for 5 with 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once.

Martinez called the win "a collective effort."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago.
