CHICAGO -- Mikie Mahtook came through with a two-out single in the ninth inning to score Logan Forsythe with the go-ahead run in the Tampa Bay Rays' 5-4 victory against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field.

Right-hander Jake McGee earned the win in relief, and right-hander Brad Boxberger pitched the ninth for his 27th save.

Chicago made things interesting in the bottom of the ninth after a lead-off single by shortstop Alexei Ramirez, who then stole second with no outs. First baseman Adam LaRoche hit a single to center, but center fielder Kevin Kiermaier threw Ramirez out at the plate for the first out.

Forsythe, the Rays' second baseman, went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, third baseman Evan Longoria went 3-for-5 with an RBI, left fielder Grady Sizemore went 2-for-2 with a home run, and Mahtook, a right fielder, went 1-for-4 with the game-winning RBI to lead the Rays (53-54).

Chicago (50-54) got its runs on a pair of two-run homers by second baseman Carlos Sanchez (1-for-4) and designated hitter Jose Abreu, who went 2-for-3 and extended his hitting streak to 14 games.

Right-hander David Robertson, who allowed Mahtook's single, took the loss. Left-hander Jose Quintana started for the White Sox and took a no-decision after allowing two runs in six innings.

Trailing 2-0 to start the sixth, with only one hit against Tampa Bay right-hander Nathan Karns, the White Sox tied it 2-2 on a single by third baseman Tyler Saladino and Abreu's two-run homer, which went over the wall just past Kiermaier's glove.

Kiermaier appeared to make contact with the outstretched glove of a fan, but not until after the ball disappeared behind the wall. The home run was upheld after a 38-second review.

Karns was taken out afterward, having thrown 5 1/3 innings and giving up two runs on three hits.

A fan did interfere with a ball in play in the seventh, however, when Longoria put the Rays back in front 3-2 with a ground-rule double. Sanchez's homer in the bottom of the seventh then gave Chicago its first lead, 4-3, on his third homer of the season.

Sizemore tied it 4-4 with his homer with two outs in the eighth off left-hander Zach Duke, setting the stage for the ninth-inning dramatics.

The Rays took an early 1-0 lead by scoring a first-inning run off Quintana on three hits, including a run-scoring double by Forsythe. They added another run in the fifth on three hits and a sacrifice fly designated hitter Joey Butler to make it 2-0.

The run gave Karns a little breathing room. He didn't allow a hit until Abreu led off the fourth with a double, and he struck out six through his first four innings of work.
