In the second game of the series against the LA Angels, the Sox only managed to hit safely three times in the entire game and did not manufacture any runs to support John Danks.  Danks came out with a no decision and pitched pretty well but just did not have any insurance from his offense to help get the win for the South Side Sluggers.  Danks lasted six and one-third innings giving up seven hits, no runs, and five strike outs.  Carlos Quentin, A.J. Pierzynski, and Joe Crede were the only Chicago hitters to get a hit against the Angel pitching staff.  While the Angels only managed to score two runs, they stranded a man in scoring position in each of the first five innings.  Not until the eighth inning were they able to get over the hump and break the scoreless tie and eventually win the game.  These two teams square off tomorrow again and the Sox hope to solve some of their offensive struggles and put some runs on the board to help out their pitching staff.
