Things are really heating up in the AL Central and the White Sox kept pace with the pack with a 7-4 win over the Royals behind an awesome game by Paul Konerko.  The first baseman has had his struggles this year but he broke out with two homeruns and five RBIs.  Tad Iguchi also had a nice game at the plate with two hits and two runs.

Mark Buehrle had another nice start and he improved to 2-0.  He gave up three runs on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts.  Bobby Jenks threw a shutout ninth (although he got into trouble) and he picked up his seventh save.

Javier Vazquez gets the start tonight and the White Sox will hopefully dismantle Brandon Duckworth.  The Sox may just be 10-8, but they’re just a half game back of the first place Twins/Tigers.
