SAN FRANCISCO, May 17 (UPI) -- Gavin Floyd teamed with four relievers on a five-hitter Friday, bringing the Chicago White Sox a 2-0 decision over San Francisco.

After almost throwing a no-hitter against Minnesota May 6, Floyd (4-2) was roughed up for five runs by Seattle. He came back Friday to coast through six innings, giving up four hits and striking out three.

The Giants managed only one hit off the four relievers, getting to Bobby Jenks in the ninth, but Jenks still picked up his ninth save.

The only runs in the game came on a two-run shot by Alexei Ramirez in the seventh, his first homer of the season. That home run was one of only five hits given up by losing pitcher Jonathan Sanchez (2-3) in 6 2/3 innings.

The Giants, who blew a 6-0 lead and lost to Houston Thursday, have dropped nine out of 12.
