After losing three straight in an embarrassing fashion, the White Sox rallied behind a two-run home run by Brad Eldred in the eighth inning to slide past the S.F. Giants by a score of 6-4.  John Danks started the game for the Sox and went four innings allowing one run and three hits.  His outing was a success and very promising for the rest of the year for him.  Boone Logan got the win for the Sox going one and one-third inning and giving up two hits.  The Sox had a solid offensive game tallying eleven hits and only four strike outs.  The South Side Sluggers failed to continue their winning streak on Sunday by getting blown out by the San Diego Padres 12-3.  Their offensive production was a joke by only getting nine hits compared to their ten strikeouts.  On the other hand, the Padres racked up sixteen hits with only three strikeouts.  Clearly the difference in the game was the patience at the plate and the pitching of either side.  Jose Contreras and Octavio Dotel both had bad performances giving up a combined five runs and eight hits in only five innings.  Looking to get back on track, the Sox take on Seattle tomorrow and will attempt revamp their offensive strategy.
