KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 15 (UPI) -- Andruw Jones drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly, topping off a Saturday rally that saw the Chicago White Sox down Kansas City 5-4.

The Sox erupted for four runs in the seventh inning, erasing a 4-1 Royals lead. In the big inning, Ramon Castro drove in a pair of runs with a single, Juan Pierre followed with an RBI single of his own and Jones' sac fly proved to be the game-winner.

Alexei Ramirez chipped in with three hits, an RBI and run scored in the Chicago win.

Jake Peavy (3-2) picked up the victory, going 8 1/3 innings in his longest start of the season. He yielded four runs on seven hits, striking out five batters and walking only one.

Matt Thornton came on in the ninth to record the final two outs and get his first save of the year.

The Royals were led by Billy Butler, who went 2-for-3 with a solo homer.
