Dustin Pedroia led a 15-hit attack with four hits and scored three times. David Ortiz had three hits, scored twice, and one RBI.

Youkilis and two others had two hits for the Red Sox, winners in seven of their last 11 games.

Jermaine Dye and Alexei Ramirez had one hit each for the AL Central-leading White Sox, who have split their last four contests.

Losing pitcher Javier Vazquez (10-12) yielded five earned runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts.
