The New York Mets could not turn a fine performance from second baseman Jose Vidro into a win. Instead, the Chicago White Sox prevailed, 5-4. Vidro was 3-4 with 2 home runs and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. The win gives Chicago a record of 7-5.

Chicago went in front, 5-3, on Erik Kratz's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Kratz hit in the bottom of the seventh, left New York pitcher Joe Blanton visibly perturbed.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Kratz told the Chicago Gazette.
