After loading the bases with one out, Victor Martinez hit a sacrifice fly and Andy Dirks followed with a runs-scoring double to forge a 2-2 tie.

Chisox starter Jake Peavy (2-1) then walked Alex Avila to re-load the bases and Raburn belted the first pitch he saw into the left-field seats for his third career grand slam.
