White Sox Pull Out Win In 14 Innings

The Chicago White Sox were happy to walk away with a victory after blowing a four-run lead in the ninth inning. Melky Cabrera drove in Geovany Soto with two outs in the 14th inning to give the White Sox an 8-7 win Monday night over the Oakland Athletics.

Cabrera singled off Arnold Leon (0-2) to end the season's longest game for both teams, one that lasted 5 hours, 9 minutes. Dan Jennings (2-3) pitched two scoreless innings in relief for Chicago, which squandered a 7-3 lead in the ninth when David Robertson allowed four runs.

The Athletics loaded the bases on a Brett Lawrie double, Danny Valencia reaching after he swung through a Robertson wild pitch for strike three, then Josh Reddick getting to first on a catcher's interference by Tyler Flowers wiping out a potential game-ending double play.

Robertson walked Coco Crisp to bring in a run, and after striking out Jake Smolinski for the second out, allowed Sam Fuld's two-run single and then threw a passed ball when he crossed up Flowers to bring in Crisp to even the game. Jose Abreu and Trayce Thompson hit two-run homers off Sonny Gray in the third.

Yankees 4, Rays 1

Alex Rodriguez enjoyed being overshadowed by a rookie. Rodriguez had a tying, two-out RBI double in the ninth and Slade Heathcott followed with a three-run homer, leading the New York Yankees to a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night.

The 24-year old Heathcott's second career homer came on his first at-bat in the major's since May 27. He was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
