Black Sox Blog

The White Sox got their first win of the season by beating the Cleveland Indians by 2-1 in the last game of their series.  The win helped them avoid the sweep and get that first notch in the win column.  John Danks started the game for the Sox and pitched a huge game going six and two thirds innings and only giving up two hits and one earned run.  Danks didn’t give up his first hit until the sixth inning.  Seven different players got a hit for the Sox and were led by the two home runs by Joe Crede and Juan Uribe.  After Cleveland pounded the Sox pitching in the first two games, Danks showed some dominance by not allowing the powerful Indian offense to get started.  Ozzie Guillen and the rest of the Sox have to be encouraged by Danks and the jolt that he gave the bullpen.  Next up for the Sox are the Detroit Tigers who are in the midst of a three game losing streak after getting swept by the Kansas City Royals.
