The Chicago White Sox scored five unanswered runs and came back to beat the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night by the score of 8-7.  Mark it up as another come from behind win for the White Sox.  It seems the White Sox have had so many of these come from behind wins this season.

Carlos Quentin went 2-3 with two home runs and four rbi to lead the White Sox at the plate.  Quentin is now up to 21 home runs and 65 rbi on the season as he has been a big suprise for the team.  Jim Thome and Alexei Ramirez both added rbi for the team as well in the game.

Adam Russell recorded one out in the seventh inning and ended up picking up the win.  Octavio Dotel picked up his first save of the year as he in the closers role now that Bobby Jenks was placed on the disabled list.

White Sox starting pitcher Javier Vasquez was rocked for 11 hits and six runs in only 5 2/3 innings of action.  I know the White Sox are used to getting a better performance out of Vasquez so they are lucky to come away with the win in my opinion.

The White Wox will now be going for the sweep in the three game series on Thursday.  Mark Buehrle will take the mound for the Sox.  White Sox Blog

The Chicago White Sox only managed four hits against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night as they lost 1-0.  Matt Stairs hit a home run in the seventh inning off of Javier Vazquez for the lone run in the game.  I wonder how Ozzie is going to react to the media after his blowup this morning and then losing a close game like this lol.

Vasquez did toss 7 2/3 inning in the game while giving up the one run.  He did allow eight hits while striking out nine batters.  One mistake cost Vasquez and the White Sox tonight.

Juan Uribe had two of the White Sox hits in the game while Jim Thome and Toby Hall both had one hit each.  Bad performance by the White Sox hitters in the game.  Maybe it is time to take some extra batting practice or something…  They did mount a little rally in the ninth inning as they walked three times but struggled once again as they couldn’t push across one run to tie the game.
