Dewayne Wise singled home Scott Podsednik from second with two out in the ninth Thursday, lifting the Chicago White Sox past the New York Yankees 3-2.

The Yankees lost for only the third time in 14 contests since the All-Star break and saw their lead over Boston in the American League East reduced to three games. Chicago starter Gavin Floyd allowed a run on four hits over 7 2/3 innings.

Chicago starter Gavin Floyd allowed a run on four hits over 7 2/3 innings, after which Matt Thornton was called on to protect a 2-1 lead. Thornton, however, gave up a two-out homer in the ninth to Nick Swisher. Hughes (4-3) retired the lead-off man in the bottom of the ninth, but Jim Thome reached on a single, and Podsednik came on as a pinch-runner. Paul Konerko singled Podsednik to second and, after Coke relieved Hughes, A.J.

Scott Podsednik delivered a bases-loaded, two-out single in the 13th inning Thursday, lifting the Chicago White Sox to a 6-5 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chicago overcame an early four-run deficit for its second straight victory over the Dodgers. Jeff Weaver (4-2) came out for his third inning of relief in the 13th and gave up singles to both Paul Konerko and A.J.
