 Thompson, the brother of Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson,
now is batting .522 (12-for-23) since being promoted to the major
leagues earlier this month.
Jake Petricka (4-3) pitched a scoreless seventh to get the win.
David Robertson pitched the ninth for his 26th save.
Boston starter Wade Miley (10-10) took the loss after allowing five
runs on 13 hits in 6 2/3 innings.
Thompson, getting a start in right field against a left-hander,
capped a three-run seventh inning for the White Sox with a two-out,
two-run double to the left-field corner off Miley to score
left-fielder Melky Cabrera and designated hitter Avisail Garcia.
Earlier, Cabrera singled to drive in third baseman Gordon Beckham.
Boston snapped a tie at 2 with a pair of runs in the sixth inning.
Center fielder Mookie Betts led off with an infield inside and then
scored all the way from first on a second down the right-field line
by third baseman Pablo Sandoval.
Shortstop Xander Bogaerts singled to put runners on the corners. One
out later, first baseman Travis Shaw drove in Sandoval with a
fielder's choice grounder to second.
The White Sox grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second inning as second
baseman Carlos Sanchez singled with two outs to drive in shortstop
Alexei Ramirez.
Jose Quintana retired the first eight batters he faced, but the Red
Sox got on the board with a two-out rally in the third inning.
Second baseman Josh Rutledge singled and Betts followed with a
double down the left-field line. It appeared the White Sox had a
chance to nail Rutledge at the plate, but Ramirez's relay throw was
way wide to the third base side. Quintana and Soto chased after the
ball, allowing Betts to race home for 2-1 Boston lead.

The White Sox tied it up in the fourth as they opened the inning
with three straight hits, the last an RBI single by Thompson to
drive in first baseman Jose Abreu.
NOTES: With a day off on Thursday before opening a three-game series
in New York against the Mets, the Red Sox announced Tuesday that
they'll skip LHP Eduardo Rodriguez to keep the 22-year-old's innings
down. "We're trying to manage his time and his workload," Boston
interim manager Torey Lovullo said. "This is a way to give him a
couple of extra days." ... White Sox 1B Jose Abreu entered Tuesday
batting .370 (17-for-46) with six doubles, four homers and 10 RBIs
in 12 games against Boston ... Chicago CF Adam Eaton was batting
.324 (35-for-108) with 21 runs in his last 28 games before Tuesday.
... Boston RHP Rick Porcello (5-11, 5.81 ERA) will be re-instated
from the disabled list to start the finale of the three-game series
on Wednesday. LHP Chris Sale (12-7, 3.34) starts for the White Sox.
Sale is 3-0 with a 2.11 ERA and 36 strikeouts in his last three
starts.
