Baseball roundup: White Sox rally without Ozzie

Alex Rios hit a walk-off two-run homer in the ninth inning after Paul Konerko homered as host Chicago scored three in the bottom of the ninth to beat Seattle, 5-4, Saturday. In the top of the inning, Casey Kotchman hit a two-run ground-rule double to give the Mariners a two-run lead. Kotchman's drive to right was touched by a fan and umpire Gary Cederstrom declared the play dead after a run scored, but the umpiring crew overruled the call and allowed pinch runner Jack Wilson to score from first. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was ejected after questioning the call and was in the clubhouse when his team rallied.

"I'm not going to get in trouble [by managing once ejected]. I was watching a soap opera from Telemundo," Guillen said. "I think I found the trick. I think they play better without Ozzie managing."
