White Sox Lose By a Run at Washington, 6-5
In the 6-5 Washington win over Chicago, the impact of Eddie Murphy was substantial. Murphy, who is tied for 10th in the AL in home runs with 4, went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times. Washington starter Kid Speer was credited with the win after throwing 116 pitches over 8 innings. His record now stands at 12-8. With the win, Washington pushed its record to 78-64.

Cozy A Dolan had a clutch hit in the bottom of the eighth inning. With two men out and runners on 1st and 2nd, the Washington third baseman hit a 2-run double. That put the Senators in the lead, 6-5.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Murphy.
