TORONTO - Magglio Ordonez hit a tying two-run double in the ninth inning and Toronto reliever Dan Reichert hit Paul Konerko with a pitch to send home the go-ahead run as the Chicago White Sox rallied for their season-high sixth straight win, 7-6 Wednesday night.

Juan Acevedo (1-4) gave up one-out singles to Roberto Alomar and Carlos Lee, then walked Frank Thomas to load the bases. Reichert relived and Ordonez doubled to left, scoring Alomar and Lee. Reichert intentionally walked Carl Everett to face Konerko, who was hit on the left thigh.

Rick White (1-1) got the last out of the eighth for the win. Damaso Marte got two outs in the ninth for his seventh save.

Toronto starter Roy Halladay was trying for his 15th straight win, but left after allowing four runs in six innings and in line for his first loss since April 15.

But Vernon Wells bailed him out with a two-run homer off Mark Buehrle in the seventh innings.

Buehrle got two outs in the seventh before Bobby Kielty doubled and Wells followed with his 26th home run.
