From Joe Jackson to Frank Thomas, A Look at the Chicago White Sox, Both Past and Present
[powered by WordPress.]
A day after being shut out themselves to the Tampa Bay Rays, the Sox followed up their loss with a 6-0 win in Tampa to not only win the game but the series. Jim Thome helped out the Sox offense by hitting his 512th home run and continues to make his mark on history. Thome is now tied for 19th on the all-time home run list with Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews. Thome also had four hits in the game and A.J. Pierzynski and Jermaine Dye did their part with two hits a piece. John Danks pitched a stellar game by pitching seven shut out innings and only gave up three hits, no walks and struck out eight. Danks’ performance today proved that he can be a dominant pitcher in this league and consistency of pitching like tonight could help the Sox make a push for the division title. Chicago has a day off tomorrow before returning home for a three game series against the Yankees. Jose Contreras will face Chien-Ming Wang in the game on Tuesday.
