CHICAGO -- Chris Sale pitched a five-hitter for his first major-league complete game and the Chicago White Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2 Sunday for their 10th win in 11 tries.
Sale (7-2) struck out eight and walked two. It was his 10th start this year after pitching in relief for Chicago the past two seasons.
In Sale's previous start, he struck out 15 in 71/3 innings at Tampa Bay.
Sale allowed White Sox manager Robin Ventura to rest his entire bullpen after Chicago used all seven relievers in Saturday's taxing 12-inning loss.
Alex Rios drove in two runs for the AL Central leaders.
Designated hitter Miguel Olivo hit a two-run home run for the Mariners.
