Matt Davidson's 1st career grand slam gives White Sox 6-1 win over Orioles

CHICAGO _ Matt Davidson crushed his first career grand slam 435 feet into the left-field stands Tuesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field to help the Sox to a 6-1 victory against the Orioles.

Avisail Garcia's two-run double off Orioles right-hander Alec Asher gave the Sox a 2-1 lead in the fourth. They were Garcia's team-leading 46th and 47th RBIs of the season.

In the sixth, Jose Abreu singled, Garcia was hit on the elbow by a pitch and Todd Frazier walked to set up Davidson's 12th homer of the year, off Asher.

Sox left-hander Derek Holland, coming off two of his worst starts of the season, rebounded for a quality start _ a rare feat among Sox pitchers these days. He gave up one earned run on eight hits with two walks and five strikeouts over six innings.

Joey Rickard doubled to lead off the game, advanced on an Adam Jones sacrifice bunt and scored on Manny Machado's RBI single. Sox left fielder Melky Cabrera threw out Machado advancing to second.

Anthony Swarzak and Tommy Kahnle each pitched a scoreless inning in relief.
