White Sox 7, Giants 6: Adam Dunn and Jose Abreu homered in support of six-plus solid innings from Chris Sale as Chicago swept a two-game series against visiting San Francisco.

Tyler Flowers added two RBIs and Alejandro De Aza doubled and tripled among three hits for the White Sox, who piled up 15 runs in the two-game set. Sale (6-1) battled through his outing, yielding three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven, and Ronald Belisario worked out of a jam in the eighth and surrendered a run in the ninth before picking up his seventh save.

Tim Hudson (7-3) started for the Giants and was lit up for season highs of seven runs and 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings to boost his formerly league-leading ERA from 1.81 to 2.39. Buster Posey delivered two hits and two RBIs and Pablo Sandoval chipped in a sacrifice fly for San Francisco, which dropped its fifth straight and eighth in the last nine games.

Abreu got things started in the first inning when he came up with a runner on and two out and lined an 0-2 splitter into the bullpen in left for his 20th home run. Chicago loaded the bases on a walk and a pair of singles in the fourth before Flowers bounced a two-run single back through the middle to make it a 4-0 gap.

The Giants cut the deficit in half in the fifth on Posey’s single and Sandoval’s sacrifice fly but Conor Gillaspie and Abreu each singled in the bottom of the frame before Hudson again got too much off the plate with an 0-2 pitch and Dunn put it in the stands in right for his 452nd career homer to tie Carl Yastrzemski for 35th on the all-time list. San Francisco battled back with a run in the seventh, two more in the eighth and one in the ninth as the Chicago bullpen struggled.
