White Sox 4, Yankees 3: Dayan Viciedo belted a three-run homer in the top of the ninth inning as visiting Chicago snapped New York's five-game winning streak.
Viciedo drilled a high fastball from David Robertson (0-2) over the fence in left for his 14th homer after reliever Clay Rapada threw wildly into center field on a potential double-play ball.
Alejandro De Aza went 4-for-5 with a home run for the White Sox, who snapped a string of six consecutive losses to the Yankees.
Hector Santiago (2-1) earned the win despite allowing a solo homer to Mark Teixeira in the eighth, and Addison Reed worked around a leadoff single in the ninth for his 11th save.
Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano had back-to-back RBI doubles for New York, which got 7 1/3 superb innings of one-run ball from Ivan Nova.
Yankees captain Derek Jeter singled in the seventh inning to move into a tie with Cal Ripken Jr. for 13th place on the career hits list with 3,184.
Dylan Axelrod allowed two runs on six hits in a career-high seven innings for Chicago, which maintained a 2 1/2-game lead over Cleveland atop the AL Central Division.
