White Sox 5W: McCarthy (2-1)

L: Schilling (5-7)Red Sox 3

Most White Sox players weren't too excited about giving up their Labor Day for a one-day road trip to Boston. For Brandon McCarthy, it was the opportunity of a lifetime.

"I don't have the advantage of picking and choosing things like that," the 22-year-old rookie said after pitching seven scoreless innings to beat the Red Sox.

McCarthy got the spot start in a reluctantly scheduled makeup of an August rainout and extended his scoreless streak to 142/3 innings. Paul Konerko homered and Juan Uribe had a single, a double and a homer for Chicago.
