Wilson was aided by a five-run third inning. Felix Escalona plated rookie Carl Crawford with a groundout, Steve Cox had a run-scoring single and Jared Sandberg an RBI double before Jason Conti capped the outburst with a two-run base hit.
Chicago stater Todd Ritchie (5-15) allowed six runs and 10 hits in six innings and had his losing streak extended to five games.
