Rays fall, but Chirinos making rotation case

CHICAGO -- Runs were hard to come by for both clubs at Guaranteed Rate Field on Wednesday afternoon. Though the White Sox threatened often, the Rays were able to keep the South Siders off the board for most of the game -- thanks, in large part, to Yonny Chirinos' starting effort.

However, putting out fires eventually took its toll on the Rays, and the fate of the game was left in Austin Pruitt's hands in the eighth inning. The Rays' reliever didn't execute his 1-1 pitch, and Matt Davidson made him pay with a two-run homer in the eighth to give the White Sox a 2-1 win.
