The Chicago White Sox finished off the Kansas City Royals in a three game sweep with 9-2 victory on Thursday afternoon. The sox used a six run sixth inning when they hit back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs and blew the game wide open. The four home runs were all hammered hard as the Sox really got the bats going and said bye bye to the Royals.
Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez, and Juan Uribe were the four plays to hit home runs in the sixth inning. Thome finished the game with three total rbi while Jermaine Dye chipped in with two runs batted in. It a great showing by the offense in the game and we can only hope that it will continue over into the weekend series against the Oakland A’s.
Lance Broadway pitched 5 1/3 innings to pick up the win and is now 1-0 on the year. Broadway gave up five hits and two runs but kep the team in the game until the offense came to the rescure in the sixth inning. Horacio Ramirez, D.J. Carrasco, and Adam Russell all threw out of the bullpen and they all did a good job.
The sox just need to keep on winning and things will take care of themselves. I like their chances this weekend out in Oakland so hopefully after the weekend the team will be up in the division by a couple of games over the Twins.
