This time White Sox manager Robin Ventura turned to closer David Robertson to start the ninth with a 7-1 lead. But Robertson gave up six runs. Whit Merrifield had a two-run single in the inning, and Butera tied the game with an RBI double.
Butera was only in the game replacing All-Star catcher Salvador Perez. After a collision last Sunday in Chicago between Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas while chasing a foul fly landed both on the disabled list, Perez had to be helped off the field after colliding with third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert while also chasing a foul pop.
Tyler Saladino belted a three-run homer and Avisail Garcia also homered for the White Sox.
