After a rain out on Friday, the White Sox could not find any offense against the Baltimore Orioles in the first of two games on the day. The Orioles won the first game 5-1 behind the eight shut out innings by starting pitcher Brian Burres. John Danks pitched first for the Sox and went six and one-third innings giving up four hits, two earned runs, no walks and four strike outs. The Sox offense only produced five hits on the day along with four strike outs. A great performance by Burres outshined Danks as the Orioles started the day out well. Game 2 was a different story. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Brian Anderson drove in the winning run on a single to center with the bases loaded. The two RBI’s that Anderson had on the night were his first of the season. Mark Buehrle started in Game 2 and pitched sixth innings while the Oriole offense managed six hits, three earned runs and struck out five times. The split on the day put the Sox record at 13-10 and keeps them at the top of the AL Central with a 1.5 game lead over the Indians. Jose Contreras will start the game tomorrow against the Orioles.
