Historic homer clutch
Photos
White Sox 7, Angels 6
Jim Thome watches the flight of his 11th career walk-off homer in the 15th inning. (AP)
Jim Thome passed Mickey Mantle for 14th on the all-time list with a homer in the 15th frame, increasing Chicago's AL Central lead to 2 1/2 games. Nick Swisher's two-run shot tied it in the seventh, and Dewayne Wise's sac fly sent it to extras after the Halos scored in the ninth.
