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
