Seattle, Sept. 17: Ryan Rowland-Smith took a shutout into the eighth inning Wednesday, helping Seattle reduce Chicago's playoff hopes with a 4-1 win over the White Sox.

David Aardsma pitched the ninth for his 34th save.

The White Sox fell 6 1/2 games behind Detroit in the American League Central and are two games behind Minnesota for second place in the division.
