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.
