— The Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers played to a 4-all tie after 10 innings on Sunday.

After the Brewers grabbed a 4-2 lead, the White Sox tied it with a two-run seventh inning. The second run came on Jordan Danks' delayed steal of home after Josh Kroeger broke from first base to steal second.

Milwaukee left-hander Randy Wolf gave up hits to the first three batters, and two runs, but settled down the rest of the way to finish his five-

inning stint in good shape. He allowed seven hits, no walks and struck out two.

"I felt alright," Wolf said. "I made a few pitches over the middle of the plate in the first inning, but after that I felt pretty good. I gave up four hits after that but I felt I was making better pitches."

Chicago's Freddy Garcia had a decent outing but was beaten up by Brewers All-Star Ryan Braun, who had a two-run home run in the first inning and a RBI single in the third. Overall, Garcia went 5-plus innings while allowing five hits with no walks and four strikeouts.

"My slider didn't break that much, but you've got to get through it," Garcia said.

Mark Kotsay went 2 for 3 for Chicago with a two-run double off Wolf in the first inning. He lifted his spring average to .433 (13 for 30) with seven RBIs.

Notes

-- The Brewers are playing a B game against Texas today with rotation candidate Chris Naverson getting the start.

-- Third baseman Casey McGehee and outfielder Corey Hart will play to get some additional at-bats.

-- With minor league contract "out" dates coming up for players like outfielder Jim Edmonds, catcher Matt Treanor and pitcher Scott Schoeneweiss, the organization will hold meetings today to see where some of the decisions stand.
