Jim Thome singled in A.J. Pierzynski for the go ahead run in the top of the ninth inning as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 to salvage a sweep in the series.  Thome delivered a single off of Angels closer Francisco Rodriquez.  Maybe this will get Thome out his slump that he has been in lately.

Three other White Sox batters had a rbi in the game besides Thome.  Orlando Cabrera, Juan Uribe, and Pierzynski all had a rbi at the plate.

Octavio Dotel ended up getting the win which improved his record to 2-2 on the season and Bobby Jenks recorded the save which was his eighth. Starting pitcher Javier Vazquez tossed 6 2/3 innings while allowing nine hits and three runs.

For the second time in his career, Gavin Floyd nearly tossed a no hitter.  Floyd pitched 8 1/3 innings and only gave up one hit which came in the ninth inning with one out.  Joe Mauer hit a double to break up the no hit bid.

Floyd still picked up the win and improved to 3-1 on the season.  Bobby Jenks came into the game to get the last two outs and didn’t have any problems with that.  It was funny watching Ozzie Guillen get booed as walked out to the mound to take Floyd out of the game.  But those booes quickly turned to screaming for Floyd as he exited the game.

Jermaine Dye connected for a solo home run in the sixth inning for the White Sox.  Dye also had a RBI in the first inning as he had two total RBI in the game.  Carlos Quentin also had two RBI and Joe Crede and Juan Uribe both had one RBI.

The White Sox are now 15-16 on the season as they look to make a run to get over the .500 mark.

Bobby Jenks picked up the win for the White Sox as he recorded the final two outs in the ninth inning.  Gavin Floyd had started for the White Sox and pitched six innings as he gave up five hits and five runs.  Floyd struckout four batters but also walked four batters.  Matt Thornton was the only White Sox relief pitcher to give up a run in the game.

The Chicago White Sox blew a 5-3 lead in the ninth inning as the Baltimore Orioles tied the game and then went onto win 6-5 in 10 innings.  Bobby Jenks blew the save in the ninth inning and then Boone Logan took the loss in the 10th inning.

Just a terrible way to end the game for the White Sox.  They spoiled a nice performance by Carlos Quentin and Joe Crede who both had two RBI.

The White Sox still have a 9-6 record.  Hopefully they will learn from this game, and learn close out their next close ball game.

Jim Thome came off his one game suspension and hit a three-run home run to defeat the Baltimore Orioles by the score of 3-1.  The home run came in the first inning, and the White Sox pitching staff made those three runs hold up for the White Sox ninth win of the season.

Jose Contreras picked up the win for the White Sox.  Contrereas pitched seven innings and gave up four hits and only one earned run.  Great win for Contreras who pitched very good.  Scott Linebrink pitched the eigth inning before Bobby Jenks picked up his sixth save of the season in the ninth inning.

I would have liked to see the White Sox score more runs, but give them credit for making the three runs hold up.
