Chicago went ahead on Konerko's RBI single in the first, but Boston tied it in the bottom half on Gonzalez's run-scoring single.
The 23-year old Hernandez was 7-2 in Double-A and pitched two games for Triple-A Charlotte before getting the start.
NOTES: Ross had his 10th career multihomer, third this season. ... First baseman Konerko played his 2,000 career game -- all in a White Sox uniform and third-most in club history. Nellie Fox is next with 2,115. "He'll get his number retired (with Chicago)," manager Robin Ventura said. "No way around it." ... Boston 2B Dustin Pedroia, on the DL with strained right thumb, is eligible to return on Thursday. Manager Bobby Valentine had a funny line to show how eager the infielder was: "He said he was ready about four days ago." ... Ventura said Philip Humber will start on Sunday and Dylan Axelrod will go to the bullpen. ... The White Sox optioned RHP Jhan Marinez to Charlotte to make room for Hernandez. ... Chicago's Alejandro De Aza's bat shattered and went flying into the stands about six rows behind the Red Sox on-deck circle and a male fan appeared to get a slight cut on the cheek. ... Ciriaco stole third in the fourth but was waved back by home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez, who interfered with catch A.J. Pierzynski while he was throwing.
