Chicago ? Frank Thomas had two of Chicago’s four hits off Anaheim’s Jarrod Washburn, and they were the difference in the game.

Thomas hit a pair of two-run homers, the first to tie the game in the seventh inning and the second to win it in the ninth as the White Sox came from behind to beat the Angels, 4-2.

“I hit it hard,” Thomas said of his second homer. “I just wanted it to stay fair and stay in play just to get that run home.”

Tony Graffanino led off the ninth with a double off Washburn and moved to third on Roberto Alomar’s sacrifice.

Thomas came up and Anaheim manager Mike Scioscia responded by bringing Chone Figgins in from center field to be a fifth infielder. It didn’t matter, as Thomas lined a 3-2 pitch over the left-field wall for his 30th homer.

“It was a changeup, and the changeup was a big pitch for me the whole game,” Washburn said. “It might’ve caught a little bit more of the plate than I wanted.”

Scioscia considered lifting Washburn when Thomas came up.

“We were looking at it, but Washburn still looked like he had enough to challenge some of those guys and maybe make some pitches,” Scioscia said. “He was pitching such a good game.”

Washburn (9-12) said he was battling back spasms most of the game, but took a no-hitter into the seventh. He lost it on Alomar’s leadoff single through the right side of the infield, and Thomas followed with his first homer of the game.

Chicago's Frank Thomas hits a two-run homer in the seventh. Thomas homered twice Monday in the White Sox' 4-2 victory over Anaheim in Chicago.

Tom Gordon (6-5) pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the win.

Washburn retired the first 14 batters he faced and had a perfect game until he hit Carl Everett with a pitch in the fifth.

Garret Anderson made a couple of nice catches in left field and Figgins made a diving grab in center to preserve the no-hitter early.

“Jarrod Washburn has been very tough on us for a long time,” Chicago manager Jerry Manuel said. “Going that long in the ballgame in a visiting ballpark with a no-hitter is pretty impressive.”

Washburn gave up four runs and four hits in 81/3 innings.

The Angels scored once in the third on an RBI single by Anderson. Alfredo Amezaga drew a walk and advanced to third on Figgins’ single before Anderson brought him home.

Anaheim added a run in the seventh when Adam Riggs came home on a squeeze play. Riggs doubled and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Adam Kennedy. He then dashed home as Amezaga put down the bunt.

The White Sox snapped a five-game losing streak.

Rangers 4, Tigers 2 (16)

Detroit — Alex Rodriguez’s two-run homer in the 16th inning gave Texas a victory over Detroit.

The win extended the Rangers’ winning streak to six games. Detroit has lost six in a row and 10 of 11 to drop a season-worst 61 games under .500 at 31-92.

Hank Blalock led off the 16th inning with a single and Rodriguez followed with a homer over the scoreboard in right-center, his 34th of the year. Rodriguez was 0-for-6 before the home run.

Ron Mahay (2-0) got the win, striking out seven batters in three scoreless innings. Steve Sparks (0-6) took the loss.

D-Rays 7, Indians 4 (13)

Cleveland — Carl Crawford drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the 13th inning, and Tampa Bay defeated Cleveland.

Crawford bounced a one-out single up the middle against Terry Mulholland (3-3) as the Devil Rays won for the seventh time in nine games.

Julio Lugo followed Crawford with a sacrifice fly. Lugo had three hits, three RBIs and his second career multihomer game.

Danys Baez, who gave up Lugo’s second homer, was charged with his eighth blown save in 33 chances.

Lance Carter (7-3) allowed one run in 32/3 innings.
