Octavio Dotel put the game on his shoulders, and A.J. Pierzynski sent him home with a win. Dotel pitched three scoreless innings, Pierzynski hit a game-ending RBI double in the 13th inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 4-3 on Wednesday night. Alexei Ramirez singled with one out in the 13th against Edgar Gonzalez (0-2) and Pierzynski followed with a double off the wall in left-center. Dotel (3-3) allowed two hits and struck out two, giving Chicago's bullpen some rest one night after the White Sox used five relievers in an 11-3 loss to Oakland.
