The Chicago White Sox got a good start by John Danks as they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-0 to finish up their three game series on Thursday afternoon. With the victory by Danks and the White Sox, the Sox took two out of three games against the Dodgers.
Danks pitched six innings and only gave up four hits and zero runs. Danks lowered his era to 2.62 in the game as he picked up the victory and improved his record to 5-4. Matt Thornton and Octavio Dotel combined to pitch a scoreless seventh inning and then Scott Linebrink threw a scoreless inning in the eighth inning. Bobby Jenks put the nail in the coffin for the Dodgers in the ninth inning and picked up his 17th save of the season.
The White Sox got runs in the second and third innings and that was all that they needed to get the victory. Alexei Ramirez went 2-4 with one rbi which came in the second inning when he singled and Jermaine Dye scored. In the third inning, Carlos Quentin singled to score Orlando Cabrera.
It was a good win for the Sox who will now flyback to Chicago and take on the Cubs tomorrow afternoon. The White Sox have some payback on their mind so it will be interesting to see how they come out and play against the Cubs who just lost two out of three games to the Orioles.
