It was the second straight night where the Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians with a walk off home run as A.J. Pierzynski took Masa Kobayashi deep in the bottom of the tenth inning and the White Sox defeated the Indians by the score of 6-5.
The walk off shot was Pierzynski’s second home run of the game as he also had a solo shot in the first inning. Jermaine Dye also had a solo home run in the first inning. Brian Anderson had a two run double in the seventh inning and Nick Swisher also had a rbi single in the second inning for the White Sox.
Adam Russell picked up the win and is now 2-0. Russell had the chance to get the win after Scott Linebrink blew the save in the ninth inning when he gave up a home run to Grady Sizemore that tied the game at 5-5. Jose Contreras pitched six innings and gave up six hits and four runs including one home run. Contreras struck out six batters while walking four as he got the no decision in the game.
The White Sox will now open up a four game series with the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.
