NOTES: Detroit slugger Magglio Ordonez was a late scratch because of left oblique soreness. Ordonez, batting .312 with eight homers and 41 RBIs, was to bat third and start in right field.

White Sox analyst Ken "Hawk" Harrelson was honored for his nearly 25 years in the White Sox television booth during a pregame ceremony in which he received a crystal microphone. The team announced it will name the broadcast level at U.S. Cellular Field the "Hawk Harrelson Broadcast Level" and place a plaque commemorating his contributions to the organization outside the television and radio broadcast booths. "The more I think about it, the more emotional I get," Harrelson said. "It means a quarter-century of your life has gone by. I don't think there will be 25 more."
