Raucous Guaranteed Rate Field Crowd Propels White Sox to 4-1 Victory; Series Tied at 2
The Chicago White Sox and the Texas Rangers will take the Division Series to a decisive 5th game. In a must-win situation today, the White Sox beat the Rangers 4-1 at Guaranteed Rate Field to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Chicago right-hander Paul Clemens was named player of the game in the win after he threw 6 innings of 2-hit ball.

Charlie Blackmon, who is a three-time All-Star, aided the Chicago cause with a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the center fielder went 1-3 with a home run and a walk.

Blackmon told a Chicago Gazette reporter that he was "more than satisfied" with the win.

The next game is set to be played Saturday. Slated to start are Ross Stripling for Chicago and Jose Quintana for Texas.
