The White Sox were forced to send Jason Grilli to the mound after calling him up from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday night and he struggled throughout. Scheduled starter Freddy Garcia could not go due to soreness in his right forearm.
Offensively for Chicago, Aaron Rowand and Ross Gload had two hits apiece. The Sox have lost seven of nine.
