The White Sox got it done in the end despite a spotty start by rookie John Danks.  Down 4-2, the Sox scored two in the sixth and a run in the seventh to squeak by with a 5-4 win.  Danks gave up four runs on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings.  Nick Masset picked up his first career win with a 1 1/3 innings of shutout relief.  Bobby Jenks got into trouble in the ninth but he closed it out and picked up his fifth save.

Paul Konerko had the big hit with a two run single in the sixth.  Darin Erstad had the game winner with an RBI single in the seventh and Juan Uribe and Tad Iguchi homered.

Tomorrow afternoon has a pretty solid pitching matchup with Jose Contreras going up against lefty Nate Robertson.  If the Sox win, they pass the Tigers in the standings.
