Getting a big win against another divisional adversary, winning the home opener, and making it five straight wins in a row was a great momentum boost for the Sox with their 7-4 win over the Twins on Monday.  All tied at three in the bottom of the seventh inning, Joe Crede hit a grand slam to break the tie and send the Sox on their way to another victory.  All nine of the Sox batters tallied a hit, Crede and Jermaine Dye each had two.  Javier Vazquez started the game for the Sox and pitched a really solid seven innings for the club.  Vazquez gave up seven hits, three earned runs, and struck out eight while only giving up one walk.  Bobby Jenks came in and gave up one hit on his way to his fourth save of the season.  The South Side Sluggers are now 5-2 with all five wins coming against divisional opponents who were projected to be better at the beginning of the season.  The Sox have the day off tomorrow before restarting their series with the Twins on Wednesday.
