Chicago has won in its final at-bat eight times this season.

Elijah Dukes -- in his first appearance since reports surfaced earlier this week that he threatened the life of his wife and children -- had a three-run homer for Tampa Bay. The Devil Rays have dropped six of seven.

Chad Orvella (0-2) started the ninth, his second inning of work, and he walked both Iguchi and Jim Thome.

Brian Stokes then came on and struck out Jermaine Dye, but gave up a single to A.J. Pierzynski that loaded the bases. The first pitch to Crede was lifted to the warning track in left.

Bobby Jenks (2-1), who worked a 1-2-3 ninth, got the win.
