After sweeping three-game series in Cleveland and Boston, Chicago (77-60) opened this four-game set with a 5-4, 10-inning victory Monday. The White Sox, who remained 3 1/2 games back of AL Central-leading Minnesota, tied it at 4-all on Alexei Ramirez's two-out single in the eighth and took the lead in the 10th on a hit by A.J. Pierzynski.
"Keep battling, not giving away at-bats. Nobody is panicking," said Pierzynski, who is batting .411 with 13 RBIs during a 13-game hitting streak.
Chicago's sudden surge on the road is somewhat surprising, considering it had lost six of its previous eight away from U.S. Cellular Field.
This is the first time the White Sox have reeled off seven straight victories on a single trip since June 12-18, 2000. They haven't won eight in a row on a trip since a 10-game run Aug. 14-22,
