Eh, it was a bad night for the Chicago White Sox as they lost to the Baltimore Orioles 11-3. To make things even worse, the Minnesota Twins won earlier in the day so they picked up a full game in the standings. Hopefully the Sox will bounce back and have a good series against Boston this weekend.
John Danks got the start on the mound against the Orioles and was rocked in his four innings of action. Danks gave up seven hits and four runs while walking three batters. Lance Broadway came in after Danks was taken out and he pitched the next four innings but was charged with four more runs and nine hits as he struggled as well. It was not a good night for Danks or Broadway that is for sure.
At the plate, the Sox hit two solo home runs as Paul Konerko and Jermaine Dye both hit solo shots. The other run came on a Jim Thome single that scored A.J. Pierzynski.
The Sox need to have a huge weekend against the Red Sox if they want to stay on top of the Twins.
