Now there was an exciting game between the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians.  After the White Sox gave up the lead in the top of the 10th inning, the Sox came back to score two runs in the bottom of the inning and pick up the 3-2 victory over the Indians.  The White Sox will now go for the three game sweep on Wednesday.

Alexei Ramirez delieved the huge hit with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning as he went deep to tie the game at 2-2.  Orlando Cabrera then singled to score Dewayne Wise for the game winning run.  Before the heroics in the 10th inning, the only White Sox run was in the second inning when Ramirez hit a sac fly that scored Jim Thome.

Adam Russell ended up picking up the victory in relief to improve his record to 1-0 on the year.  White Sox starting pitcher John Danks pitched good as he lasted eight innings.  Danks only gave up four hits and one run in the game as he got the no decision.  Matt Thornton was the White Sox reliever that gave up the go ahead run for the Indians in the 10th inning to Casey Blake.  Luckily for Thornton and the White Sox, Ramirez and Cabrera pulled through for the team in the bottom of the inning.

So do you think the Sox will sweep the Indians on Wedneday?  Leave us a comment and let us know!

Mark Buehrle pitched eight strong innings and the Chicago White Sox were able to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 and snap their road losing streak.  Buehrle was dominate in the game as he only allowed six hits and one run, (which was a home run) while striking out two.  Buehrle is now 5-6 on the season.

Scott Linebrink pitched ninth inning and had no problems at all.  The White Sox didn’t need to use closer Bobby Jenks as they were up five runs in the ninth inning.

Jermaine Dye had a two run home run to lead the White Sox at the plate.  Dye took Derek Lowe deep in the eighth inning.  Nick Swisher, Dewayne Wise, and Alexei Ramirez all had one rbi in the game as well.

Good win for the White Sox on the road as they beat a quality Dodger team.  And any time you beat Lowe you are doing some good things at the plate.  The White Sox will try to go up 2-0 in the series on Wednesday night.
