It wasn’t pretty, but Jon Garland improved to 11-2. He gave up three homers and was credited with six earned runs through six innings of work, but a ten run White Sox sixth inning turned a poor start into a win.

And what an inning that was. Paul Konerko, Juan Uribe and Frank Thomas all homered to account for six of the ten runs. Joe Crede had two doubles and two runs and both Konerko and Uribe drove in three runs.

It was a timely win as once again the White Sox extended their lead to five games. Of some concern is the streaking Indians, who have won nine of their last ten and now sit 8 1/2 games back.

The Dodgers roll into town this weekend and they look like they’re going to lose their fourth game in their last five. It would be nice to catch that team on the decline and take two of three.
