Games Notes

White Sox beat the Yankees 4-2.

After several missed opportunities, Chicago breaks through late on Ellis Burks' 2-run double in the 7th. New York's Jim Abbott pitches out of trouble repeatedly, but then the White Sox get a pair of runners on a fielder's choice and walk. After Bobby Munoz replaces Abbott, Burks delivers a double into the gap, breaking a 2-2 tie.

Chicago had taken a 2-1 lead on Ron Karkovice's 2-run HR in the 2nd. Wilson Alvarez matches Abbott, after giving up solo HR to Randy Velarde in the top of the 1st, Alvarez goes 7 1/3 innings, allowing 2 runs and 5 hits, while striking out 8.
