Rays 9, White Sox 4
Nick Swisher went deep for his fourth straight game. (Nam Y. Huh/AP)
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer in the fourth, but John Danks gave up a run in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to lose the lead. After the Sox 'pen coughed up three runs in the eighth, Alexei Ramirez's two-run homer in the bottom of the inning couldn't reverse the damage.
