CHICAGO -- The Rays have lost the second game of three in Chicago against the White Sox. The Rays scored first with their only two runs of the game in the second with a two-run single by Rocco Baldelli, but Paul Konerko blasted solo shots in back-to back at-bats in the fourth, and again in the seventh to tie it up. The winning run came in the eighth when Nick Swisher belted a two-run homer. Jose Contreras dominated with a two-run, four-hit complete game for just his third win of the season.
