White Sox 2, Yankees 0
Phil Humber threw seven scoreless innings of one-hit ball to help the visiting Chicago White Sox snap a three-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over the New York Yankees on Monday night.
Humber (2-2) had a no-hitter for 6 1/3 innings and outdueled hard-luck loser A.J. Burnett (3-1) as the White Sox won for only the second time in 12 games and halted New York’s three-game winning streak.
Paul Konerko had an RBI single in the ninth and Carlos Quentin doubled and scored Chicago’s first run on Adam Dunn's infield groundout in the fourth.
Sergio Santos pitched around a leadoff single in the ninth for his first save.
Burnett limited the White Sox to a run on three hits in eight innings. He struck out two and walked two.
Alex Rodriguez broke up Humber’s no-hit bid with one out in the seventh by grounding a single up the middle to put runners at first and second.
Humber came back to retire Robinson Cano and Nick Swisher to end the threat and protect a 1-0 lead. He struck out five, walked two and hit a batter in only his sixth career start.
