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.

John Danks and Nick Masset both pitched terrible for the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night as the White Sox were beaten by the Minnesota Twins 12-5.  Danks was only able to pitch 2.1 innings and he gave up seven hits and seven earned runs.  Masset wasn’t much better as he lasted lasted 3.2 innings and gave up five more earned runs.

Anytime you get in a big hole like that, your team is more then likely going to lose.  The White Sox pitchers never gave the team a shot at winning.  Hopefully they will turn things around in the next game.

The White Sox did hit three solo homeruns in the game.  Nick Swisher, Paul Konerko, and Joe Crede all went yard.  The problem was, no one was on base so it really didn’t affect the outcome of the game.   Carlos Quentin and Pablo Ozuna each had an RBI as well in the game.
