CHICAGO, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- A.J. Pierzynski homered in a 13-hit attack Wednesday and Freddy Garcia allowed four hits in seven innings to bring the Chicago White Sox a 5-2 win over Boston.

The White Sox won for the sixth time in seven games, continuing a late-season rush that came too late for them to successfully challenge Minnesota for the American League Central title.

Pierzynski tied it at 1-1 in the fourth and Chicago took the lead with a three-run seventh. Omar Vizquel singled in the first run of the inning and scored the last one on a base hit by Manny Ramirez.

Garcia (12-6) gave up both Boston runs to win his first game in a month. He sat out two weeks in that stretch with a sore back.

Josh Beckett (6-6) gave up four runs on 11 hits in six-plus innings to take the loss.
