White Sox Tear Continues with 6-2 Triumph
Chicago pitcher Rob Garza had a large part in his team subduing the Kansas City Royals, 6-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Garza, the winner, moves to 9-10. He threw 6 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 9 and giving up 1 walk. Now 78-51, the White Sox have won 10 games in a row.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Vladimir Guerrero to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the White Sox ahead, 4-2. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Swagger goes hand in hand with playing well," said Chicago manager Carlton Fisk.
