All tied up in the bottom of the ninth, facing one of the most talked about pitchers yet to suffer a big league defeat Carlos Quentin and Joe Crede came through.  With one out Quentin doubled off of Joba Chamberlain and then Crede lined a single to left-center to score Quentin and end the game.  A big win against a good team which helped avoid being swept in the series.  Paul Konerko led the way for the Sox with two hits and Jim Thome hit his sixth home run of the season.  Gavin Floyd started the game and pitched well against a powerful Yankee lineup.  Floyd went six innings and gave up five hits, five earned runs, four walks and four strike outs.  Bobby Jenks got his first win of the season with only two-thirds an inning of work.  Jermaine Dye left the game after six innings with a strained left groin and will not be available for Friday’s game.  The 12-9 White Sox start a four game series against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday with Mark Buehrle taking the mound in game one.
