Fields, Uribe lead White Sox past Mariners

<h3>CHI WHITE SOX 5, SEATTLE 3</h3>CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Josh Fields and Juan Uribe teamed up tohelp dissolve the Seattle Mariners' lead in the American Leaguewild card race.


Fields posted his first career multi-homer game and Uribesnapped a tie with an RBI double in the seventh inning as theChicago White Sox posted a 5-3 victory over the Mariners onFriday.


With the loss, Seattle (63-50) fell into a tie for the wild cardwith the New York Yankees (64-51), who rolled to a 6-1 triumphover Cleveland.


Fields gave Chicago a 2-1 lead with a two-out solo blast in thethird inning and forged a 3-3 tie with another shot in thesixth. Entering the game, the 24-year-old had just one homer inhis previous 12 contests.


White Sox starter Javier Vazquez (10-6) escaped a bases-loaded,one-out jam in the top of the seventh, and Uribe sparked atwo-run rally in the bottom half to put Chicago ahead.
