Chicago, IL -- (Sports Network) - DeWayne Wise hit a two-run double in Chicago's three-run fourth, and the White Sox staved off elimination with a 5-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3 of their American League Division Series. Tampa Bay still leads the series 2-1, and can advance to its first-ever American League Championship Series with a win in Game 4, set for Monday afternoon in Chicago. Game 5, if necessary, will be back in St. Petersburg, Florida on Wednesday. John Danks (1-0) gave up seven hits and three runs in 6 2/3 innings, with seven strikeouts and three walks, to pick up another big win for the White Sox. Danks was coming off pitching eight innings of shutout ball in the one- game playoff with the Twins on Tuesday, and he earned the win as Chicago edged Minnesota 1-0 for the AL Central title. A.J. Pierzynski had two hits and an RBI for Chicago. Matt Garza (0-1) gave up five runs on seven hits in six innings, with four strikeouts and four walks, to take the loss for the Rays. B.J. Upton hit a two-run home run, and Akinori Iwamura had two hits and drove in the other run for the AL East champions. Gavin Floyd faces Tampa Bay's Andy Sonnanstine in the pitching matchup Monday.

Final Score: LA Angels of Anaheim 5, Boston 4 (12 innings)

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Erick Aybar singled in Mike Napoli in the 12th inning to boost the Angels to a 5-4 win over the Red Sox, as Los Angeles remained alive in its American League Division Series. Francisco Rodriguez, who set a single-season record for saves, escaped a bases-loaded jam in the 10th inning for the Angels, as they broke an 11-game postseason skid against Boston. They still trail the best-of-five series, 2-1, with Game 4 scheduled for Monday night, again at Fenway Park. A deciding Game 5, if necessary, would be Wednesday in Anaheim. Napoli homered twice off Josh Beckett, and his single to left field started the 12th inning rally against Javier Lopez (0-1). Howie Kendrick put down a successful sacrifice bunt. Aybar's first hit of the series then came at the perfect time, as the shortstop reached out on an 0-2 pitch to loop the ball into shallow center field, scoring Napoli easily. Jered Weaver (1-0) walked David Ortiz to start the bottom of the 12th, but Kevin Youkilis flied out to center, Jason Bay struck out, and Alex Cora grounded out sharply to third, ending the 5-hour, 19-minute marathon. It was the longest game in ALDS history. Chone Figgins had three hits and scored for the Angels, who left 16 men on base, but managed to snap a nine-game postseason slide. Jacoby Ellsbury was credited with a rare three-run single for the defending World Series champions, who had won their previous nine postseason contests since losing to Cleveland in Game 4 of the 2007 ALCS. Also, Boston's 11 straight postseason wins over the Angels was a major league record for consecutive playoff victories for one team versus a single opponent. Monday's pitching matchup will be a repeat of the opener as John Lackey takes the mound for the Angels against Jon Lester. Both teams used six pitchers on Sunday.
