From Joe Jackson to Frank Thomas, A Look at the Chicago White Sox, Both Past and Present
[powered by WordPress.]
Cruising to their seventh straight win, the White Sox capped off a sweep of the Minnesota Twins with a 7-5 come from behind victory. This was their second straight series sweep and both teams are in the same division as the Sox, the AL Central. Sox’ bats have been on fire, scoring at least six runs in each of their seven straight, including three straight double digit performances against the Twins by racking up forty runs in four games compared to only fifteen for the Twins. In game four, Nick Swisher went two for two with two home runs and two walks. Paul Konerko also belted his eighth on the season. A big part of their success was getting the top of their order to get things rolling, and Orlando Cabrera came through by going four for five from the lead off position. John Danks started the game and pitched decent, but his bats helped him out. Danks lasted six innings and gave up six hits and five runs of which four were earned. Bobby Jenks closed the game up and earned his fifteenth save of the season. The Sox head to Detroit tomorrow for a three game series and look to go for a three team sweep within the division.
