The White Sox's major league-high 72nd victory came on the day they unveiled a life-sized statue of No. 72, Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk. After dropping two of three to Toronto, the White Sox won two of three against the Mariners to finish their six-game homestand.

Konerko's two-run shot in the fourth was his second in two games, his 27th of the season and fourth on the homestand. Crede homered leading off the fifth and Rowand had two singles to extend his hitting streak to seven games.

Garland (16-5) - the AL leader in victories - allowed a run and five hits in 7 1-3 innings, struck out three and walked two. After allowing an RBI single to Ichiro Suzuki in the third, he retired the next 12 batters. Garland's strong outing came after he allowed a career-high 13 hits and tied a season high with seven runs Tuesday against Detroit.

Garland left with runners on first and second in the eighth. Damaso Marte got Raul Ibanez to fly out before Richie Sexson sent a drive to deep center off Cliff Politte, which Rowand sprinted back for and caught as he crashed into the wall.

Dustin Hermanson pitched the ninth for his 28th save in 29 opportunities.

After breaking an 0-for-22 slump with two hits on Saturday, Suzuki had two singles.

Jeff Harris (0-1), making his first major league start and his second appearance, allowed three runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings, walking three and striking out three.

After walking Chris Snelling with one out in the third, Garland deflected Wiki Gonzalez's one-hopper - turning a potential inning-ending double-play into a single that put runners at first and third. Suzuki singled up the middle to make it 1-0.

Rowand led off the fourth with a single and Konerko homered into the left-field bullpen for a 2-1 lead.

Crede, who had one hit in his previous 16 at-bats, made it 3-1 when he connected on a 1-2 pitch in the fifth.

The Mariners had runners on first and second with one out in the seventh after Adrian Beltre walked and Jeremy Reed laid down a bunt single, but Garland stranded them.
