A night after not allowing a run to the Tigers while scoring seven of their own in a blow out win, the White Sox backed up that performance with an even better one.  Not only did the Sox shut out the Tigers again, but they put up eleven runs in another great offensive performance.  Joe Crede and Paul Konerko both had a grand slam to help make the season a little more miserable for the struggling team from Motown.  Orlando Cabrera and Nick Swisher each chipped in two hits for the Sox and each scored two runs.  Javier Vazquez started the game for the Sox and pitched very well.  Vazquez lasted seven innings and gave up five hits, no earned runs, and struck out nine.  On the other side of the mound, Kenny Rogers had a terrible game going four innings and giving up seven hits and seven earned runs.  The White Sox pitching staff has now not allowed a run in twenty straight innings.  If the Sox pitchers can stay consistent along with their offense still putting up big numbers, the South Side Sluggers have a good chance of being near the top of the division throughout the season.
