The White Sox won number 49 yesterday afternoon, and are in the midst of another nice winning streak. They’ve won seven straight and they host the Cubs in their annual L-train series.

This time it what was Mark Buehrle throwing the gem. He improved to 9-1 by throwing eight strong innings. He gave up one unearned run on only five hits, and he struck out six. And it was a typical Buehrle quick outing as the game lasted only two hours and four minutes.

Carl Everett hit his tenth homer and it was a huge one. His three run shot in the fifth inning busted this one wide open. Paul Konerko had three hits and scored.

With the win, the Sox had extended their lead to ten games, but the Twins won this afternoon, so it now sits at 9 1/2.
