The White Sox exploded for five runs in the final two frames as they took the three game series in Oakland.  I’m impressed because even in 2005, it seemed like the White Sox had problems playing in Oakland not this year.  Jermaine Dye tied it with a big two run homerun in the eighth and then Darin Erstad drove in the game winner on a sac. fly.  Paul Konerko also had a nice game at the plate and he had two hits, two RBIs and two runs in the 6-3 win.

Mark Buehrle really calmed down after he was tagged for three runs in the first and despite not getting a decision, he had as much to do with winning this game as anyone.  He gave up the three runs on just four hits and two walks with a strikeout in seven innings.  David Aardsma picked up the win and Bobby Jenks got it done in the ninth and he saved his second game of the season.

The White Sox have tomorrow off and then they play a pretty big three game set against the Indians.  Javier Vazquez gets the start in the series opener and hopefully he’ll continue the wickedness he had going last weekend.
