Lopez has 3 RBI, Leads White Sox to Win
Omar Lopez impressed in the 9-5 Chicago win over Minnesota. Lopez, who won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1994, was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Tony Coscia, credited with the win, is now 11-12. He allowed 5 runs on 10 hits in 9 innings. The third-place White Sox improved to 64-69.

With Chicago leading 3-0 in the top of the second, Lopez came up to bat against Minnesota pitcher Gar Finnvold. Lopez hit a forkball to left for a 3-run home run. His 23rd home run of the season put the White Sox on top, 6-0.

"We maximized our offense today," said Chicago skipper Brian Schofield. "That makes everyone's life easier."
