New York - Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter are no strangers to hitting home runs in Yankee stadium. Both infielders blasted shots as the Yankees (15-7) bombed the White Sox (15-8) by a score of 7-3.
Edwin Jackson (0-3 5.70) continued his early season struggles, allowing 6 ER in just over 5 innings of work. DH Adam Dunn added his 10th home run, while Gordon Beckham got on the board with his first.
The Sox look to Mark Buehrle to be the stop-loss once again tomorrow against Kevin Millwood.

Morel drives in 2 as Buehrle, Sox win 6-2

3B of the future? Brent Morel is batting .341
New York - Rookie 3B Brent Morel is making the most of his first 24 games of the 2011. He is batting .341 with 6 extra-base hits, 12 runs scored and 12 driven out of the 9th spot in the lineup. His performance has left many Sox fans forgetting about Dayan Viciedo, whom they had been clamoring for prior to his injury in spring ball.
"It's always disappointing when you can basically point to an injury as to why a guy lost his job. Brent took charge of his opportunity and hasn't looked back. I think he'll stick with the club all year," said GM Kenny Williams.
Morel went 1-4 with a double and 2 RBI in support of Mark Buehrle (4-1 4.39). Paul Konerko added his 7th HR of the season and 2 RBI as well.
Buehrle, however, pitched a CG allowing 5 hits and 2 ER in his defeat of the Yankees (15-8). The White Sox (16-8) still have two games remaining in the set, sending John Danks to the hill tomorrow against former White Sox starter Freddy Garcia.

Konerko homers for 2nd straight, Danks masterful as Sox triumph
Paul Konerko is congratulated after his 4th inning HR
New York - Paul Konerko didn't know what uniform he would be wearing in 2011 until the New Year's day ball had nearly dropped. After owner Jerry Reinsdorf green-lit the spending spree, bringing back Konerko, a 2010 MVP candidate, became top priority.
"It's nights like these, that make me glad we brought him back. I don't know where we would be without him. Adding Dunn and Ethier to protect him was a priority, I can't wait to see what he can do all year with these guys in the order," gleamed Kenny Williams.
Konerko went 3-5 for the White Sox (17-8) as they defeated the Yankees (15-9) 5-3 for the second time in as many nights. He had a home run, double, 2 runs scored and 3 RBI. John Danks (4-1 2.77) pitched 7 and 2/3 innings allowed 3 runs, zero earned and CL Matt Thornton picked up his 10th save.
"Dunn and I have kind of a have a bet going around who has more saves or homers at the end of the year, I'm really wanting to win," joked Thornton after the game.

Tim Lincecum to DL

Tim Lincecum could miss up to a month of action
San Francisco - 3 time all-star and 2 time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum (3-2 2.93) is headed to the disabled list. The defending champion Giants (12-12) are currently in 2nd place and 3GB of NL West leading Colorado (16-9).
Lincecum is expected to be out at least 3 weeks as he recovers from a strained shoulder stemming from a base running incident, in which he ran into the Pittsburgh Pirate's 3B Pedro Alvarez.
Lincecum returned to the hill in the bottom half of the inning, before complaining about soreness in his shoulder.
White Sox end road trip with 9-2 record
New York - The Chicago White Sox (18-8) found out a lot about themselves in the last two weeks. They had to play two playoff teams from last season and a playoff hopeful this season and came away with a blistering 9-2 record after those 11 games.
Gavin Floyd (4-0 2.40) out-dueled C.C. Sabathia (3-1 4.38) to remain unbeaten. Floyd notched 7 and 2/3 innings, giving up 6 hits and 2 ER. Sox #6 hitter, Alexei Ramirez, hit his 5th home run of the season and the White Sox came away with a 4-2 victory over the Yankees for the 3rd straight game.
The Sox head home for 6 straight games, starting with 4 against the Baltimore Orioles (10-15) before hosting the defending Central champs Minnesota Twins (16-10) in a 2 game set.
Jake Peavy (1-0 3.18) will make his 3rd and final start of April, facing off against Brian Matusz (1-3 4.67)
"I just hope we can keep the momentum going, and not over-look the Orioles before we welcome the Twins. They've changed their ballclub a lot this year, and Buck Showalter is a great manager. They're a sleeping offensive juggernaut," commented Peavy.

Peavy wins behind Dunn/Konerko HRs
http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/x...narf/bilde.jpg
Jake Peavy pitched well in earning his 2nd victory
Chicago - The White Sox (19-8) defeated the Orioles (10-16) by a score of 4-2 today behind a strong outing by Jake Peavy (2-0 3.12). Peavy pitched 6 innings, allowing 7 hits and 2 runs while striking out 5 on 93 pitches.
"I felt great all game. It's encouraging to feel no pain, I could have stayed out there longer. Let's build on this success and move forward. It's going to be a great year for me, I think," Peavy gloated.
Sox #3 and #4 hitters each hit a home run in support of Peavy. Dunn's was his 11th of the year, while Konerko's was his 9th.
Luke Scott and Randy Winn each had solo shots off of Peavy, but the Orioles offense couldn't muster anything past the 6th inning with Jesse Crain, Chris Sale and Matt Thornton pitching 3 scoreless innings.

Sox finish April hot; 20-8, 4 game lead
Chicago - With his 2nd HR of the season, White Sox (20-8) 2B Gordon Beckham ended the game with a walk-off in the bottom of the 9th.
Edwin Jackson (0-3 5.80) allowed 4 ER in 5 and 2/3 innings as he left the game in a 4-4 tie. He has allowed at least 3 ER in all 6 of his starts this season. Reliever Sergio Santos (1-1 8.38) pitched 3 innings of perfect relief to get the win.
"Sergio seems to have turned corner," remarked manager Ozzie Guillen. "Unfortunately, Edwin still hasn't pitched well at all this season. It's frustrating, I don't know how much longer we trust in him. Short leash from here."

Sox run win steak to 6
Chicago - The White Sox (21-8) won again today after breaking a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the 8th to win 4-3 over the Orioles (10-17) for their 6th straight win.
Mark Buehrle (4-1 4.21) got the no decision pitching 6 innings of 2 run ball, even though he left the game with a 3-2 lead. Reliever Jesse Crain (2-1 5.14) gave up a run in the top of the 7th to make it 3-3 before UTIL Brent Lillibridge drove in the game winning run on a ground out.
DH Adam Dunn and 1B Paul Konerko continue to mash the ball, hitting their 12th and 10th HRs, respectively.
The Sox look to close out the sweep of the Orioles before the Twins come to town for a two game set by sending John Danks to the hill against Brad Bergesen.

Brad Bergesen shuts out White Sox
http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/x...d-Bergesen.jpg
Brad Bergesen was masterful in his CGSO
Chicago - Brad Bergesen (2-3 6.75) was great all afternoon, allowing only 5 White Sox (21-9) batter to reach base, going 9 innings for his first career complete game shutout. 1B Derrek Lee, 3B Mark Reynolds and CF Adam Jones all homered for the Orioles (11-17) as they dominated the White Sox, 7-0
John Danks (4-2 2.80) allowd 4 runs, 2 earned over 6 innings for the loss. Tony Pena and Sergio Santos each allowed runs in the defeat in relief of Danks.
The Sox offense failed to get anything going, with the low-light coming from Juan Pierre who was 0-4 and grounded into 2 double plays.
Up next is a 2 game set against division rival and mortal enemy Minnesota Twins (17-12). The White Sox will send Gavin Floyd to the mound against Brian Duensing.

Floyd chased early, Twins win within 2.5 of Sox
Gavin Floyd was sent to an early shower
Chicago - Minnesota's offense got off to a quick start, piling 5 runs on the Sox in the first 4 innings, cruising to a 5-1 win over the White Sox (21-10). Gavin Floyd (4-1 3.25) lasted only 3+ innings while taking his first loss of the season. The bright spot for the White Sox was that their bullpen held the Twins (18-12) scoreless over the final 18 outs.
Lefty Brian Duensing (3-2 3.28) pitched 7 innings allowed just 1 run over 100 pitches. Michael Cuddyer and Alexi Cassila each had 2 RBI for the Twins.
Alex Rios was caught stealing for the 5th time this season, against only 3 successful attempts.
"We give him green light, even against someone like Joe Mauer. He is confident player, just needs to be smarter this time," said Ozzie Guillen.
The White Sox stranded 8 runners in the loss, their second straight. They will send Jake Peavy to the mound tomorrow as he attempts to snap the losing skid and even the season series against the Twins.

Jake Peavy to miss at least 3 months
Jake Peavy tore his latissimus dorsi muscle last year, reinjures it today
Chicago - Jake Peavy (2-0 3.12) woke up this morning and immediately knew something was wrong. A pounding pain in his surgically repaired shoulder prompted the 2007 Cy Young winner to immediately call the White Sox (21-10) training staff.
Within an hour Peavy was getting x-rays taken at team's facilities and he did not receive good news.
"It looks like the muscle ripped partially again in his shoulder. We hope he can avoid surgery, but he can't throw for at least 10 weeks," lamented GM Kenny Williams. "We had such high hopes for him this season as a player, now I'm just worried about Jake the person. It has to be very trying on him."
Williams said that Peavy will be unavailable for comment as he is resting at home. Lucas Harrell (1-1 1.69 AAA) was called up and put on the first flight out of Charlotte and will start tonight against the Twins in replace of Peavy.
Jim Thome hits 600th career HR against Peavy-less Sox
Jim Thome launches #600 against his former club
Chicago - Jim Thome became the 8th person in Major League history to hit 600 home runs with a 3rd inning blast. The U.S. Cellular fans, cheering for Thome, were treated to a tip of the hat after the former Sox slugger came out of dugout after the homer.
Thome joins Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Jr, Alex Rodriguez and Sammy Sosa as the only people to accomplish the feat in the history of the game. Thome needs 10 more homers to pass Sosa for 7th place on the all-time list.
"It's quite the career accomplishment, but the big thing was we got the win today and closed the gap between us and the Sox," said Thome.
The Minnesota Twins (19-12) scored early and often against recently called-up Lucas Harrell (0-1 18.00). The 25 year old rookie gave up 5 runs, 4 earned in just 2 innings of work. Jake Peavy was slated to start the game, but earlier in the day the Sox (21-11) found out he will miss at least 12 weeks after reinjuring his shoulder that ended his season in 2010.
"It sucks, man. He's so big for us, it kind of deflated all of us when we heard the news. We were like zombies out there," said DH Adam Dunn, who hit his 13th HR of the season in the 8-1 loss.
Nick Blackburn (3-1 2.16) pitched 7 innings of 1 run ball for the Twins and Thome's HR was the 11th of the season.
"I remember in early in 2009 when all the talk in Chicago was 'will he/won't he come' in reference to Peavy accepting the trade to go there. I was in Los Angeles by the time he got there, but every one of us in that clubhouse just hoped he would come. He's a tremendous talent, you never wish injuries on any player regardless of the jersey they are wearing. That being said, I'm glad we didn't have to face him today," said Thome.

Sox head west dealing with adversity
Chicago - The White Sox are enjoying the morning off before boarding a plane destined for Seattle. The Sox open up against the Mariners (22-9) who are tied with the Red Sox (22-9) for the best record in the A.L. GM Kenny Williams has been searching hard for a replacement for injured starter Jake Peavy, who will likely be out until mid-August at the earliest.
"It's tricky, we know that Harrell and Humber aren't ready to step in for 3 months, but then again we're hesitant with giving up our young talent. We have to do something though," said Williams. "We have some things in the works, a few phone calls out there. We will have something figured out sooner rather than later."
The White Sox have lost their last 3 games, after winning 6 in a row. The Sox have the Mariners, Angels (12-19) and the A's (12-19) on the road over the next 9 games before heading back home.
Edwin Jackson traded to Texas
Edwin Jackson will now pitch for his 6th Major League team, the Texas Rangers
Chicago - Just as reports came out that Kenny Williams was looking to improve the starting rotation while Jake Peavy was on the DL, the White Sox GM sent another pitcher in his rotation out.
Edwin Jackson (0-3 5.40) was sent to the Texas Rangers (17-15, 2nd AL West) along with backup catcher Donny Lucy and pitching prospect Kyle Bellamy in exchange for high-ceiling SP Derek Holland (2-1 4.76) and journeyman SP Dave Bush (2-2 5.90).
"The call started out about Dave Bush, to be honest. I had been high on Holland for quite some time, and when I mentioned his name, that's when things got interesting," said Williams.
Jackson is 48-54 with a 4.66 career ERA with 5 teams over 8 seasons. His best season came in 2009 with Detroit posting a 13-9 record with a 3.62 ERA. Traded to Arizona before the 2010 season for Max Scherzer, he pitched a perfect game for the Diamondbacks before being traded to the White Sox mid-season last year. It was widely rumored that the Sox never had any plans on keeping Jackson, after trying to use him as a pawn to acquire Adam Dunn before the deadline. No such deal happened.
Holland is a 24 year old left-hander with an 13-18 record posting a 5.42 ERA in parts of 3 seasons. Rated as the #2 prospect in the Rangers organization in 2009, the pitcher is best known for his game 4 start in the ALCS against the Yankees in 2010. He pitched 5 and 2/3 innings allowing 0 runs in a crucial victory helping the Rangers ultimately reach the World Series for the first time in team history.
Bush is 58-70 with a career 4.69 ERA and is slated by the #5 starter until Peavy is healthy, then projects to be a long reliever. Signed by the Rangers over the off-season, he had recently been sent to AAA after proving to be ineffective.
Buehrle and Sale shut out Mariners
Seattle - The Seattle Mariners (23-10) couldn't get anyone past second base against Mark Buehrle (5-1 3.60). Buehrle pitched well for 8 innings, allowing 5 hits and no runs. 1-2-3 innings were a common thing for Buehrle as the White Sox (22-11) won 4-0.
The Sox started off scoring in the 2nd inning. Paul Konerko single to start the inning, after Andre Ethier and Alexei Ramirez caused outs, Ramon Castro walked ahead of a Gordon Beckham RBI double. With Castro on 3rd and Beckham on 2nd, Brent Morel had a weak grounder to 3rd to end the inning.
The White Sox would add runs in 3rd, 7th and 9th to win for the first time in 4 tries.

Sox dethrone King Felix, Danks pitches CG
Felix Hernandez lasted only 3.2 innings in his first loss of the season
Seattle - Jack Cust hit a solo homer in the 7th inning off John Danks (5-2 2.50), to break a streak of 15 scoreless innings for the Mariners (23-11) against the Sox (23-11). It wasn't enough.
The White Sox started the scoring early against Felix Hernandez (4-1 3.42) with 3 runs in the first inning. Hernandez retired Juan Pierre before allowing singles to both Alex Rios and Adam Dunn. Paul Konerko then popped out and Andre Ethier drew the 2 out walk. Alexei Ramirez, last year's silver slugger at shortstop, then drove a 2-0 pitch into the gap, clearing the bases and hitting a triple as the White Sox took a 3-0 lead they would never give up.
Hernandez lasted only 3 and 2/3 innings as the White Sox added on 2 more runs in the 4th inning, en route to a 5-1 win.
Chicago starter John Danks, was efficient only allowing 5 mean to reach base all game, giving up 1 ER over the full 9 innings. It was his 2nd CG of the season, and 4th of his career.

Sox road woes continue, Angels sweep; Twins take first in AL Central
Anaheim - The White Sox (23-15) were swept for the second time this season. Jered Weaver (5-2 4.39) pitched 7 innings of 1 run baseball for the Angels. Fernando Rodney naile down the save with a scoreless 9th as they won 3-1.
Even though Mark Buehrle (5-2 3.63) pitched 7 innings of 3 run ball, good enough for a quality start, he was the hard luck loser.
DH Adam Dunn went 0-4 with 3 strikeouts watching his batting average dip under .250 for the first time this season. He is currently sitting at .246.
The White Sox now close out their 9 game road trip with 3 games at Oakland, where they are historically bad. The Sox are in the midst of their longest losing streak of the season and the Minnesota Twins have capitalized. While the Sox have lost 4 straight, the Twins have won 3 straight and have retaken the AL Central lead by .5 games.

Oakland - The Colossieum's 20,374 fans watched the 26 year old lefty Josh Outman (1-1 2.67) pick up his 1st victory on the season. He went 7 and 2/3 innings, allowing 6 hits and 1 run. For the 5th straight game, the White Sox (23-16) tasted defeat.
"It's becoming disheartening, we hate every trip out west every year. I think it's mental at this point, they're no better than us," quipped Ozzie Guillen. "We need to right the ship, and do it soon. Losing is contagious like a cough, or disease."
Josh Willingham hit his 7th HR of the season for the A's, as they cruised to victory, never trailing. Lastings Milledge, starting in place of Juan Pierre, had 3 hits on the day, bringing his season average to .314. He was the lone bright spot for the Sox.

Dunn powers White Sox out of slump
http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/x...v2standard.jpg
Adam Dunn's 1st inning HR was his 15th in a Sox uniform
Oakland - For the White Sox (24-16), the saying could be, 'As goes Dunn, so goes the Sox'. The big left-handed slugger was 1-3 with 2 walks, a homer (15), 2 runs scored and 2 RBI. The Sox beat the A's 7-3.
The Sox chased Trevor Cahill (1-5 5.79) before the young pitcher even recorded an out. Pouring on 5 runs in the 1st inning without recording an out, Cahill allowed 6 straight batters to reach base.
Gavin Floyd (5-1 2.76) righted the ship for the Sox pitching a string 7 and 1/3 innings allowing 1 run on 7 hits. Juan Pierre added 3 hits, 2 runs and a stolen base increasing his season average to .343.
Rookie 3B Brent Morel's batting average dipped under .300 for the first time this season, going 0-3 with 2 strikeouts. He is currently batting .299

Sox finish west coast swing 3-6; Lose to A's in 10
Oakland - For the 3rd time of this West Coast trip, the Sox (24-17) played more baseball than required. For the 3rd time they lost. Chris Sale (3-2 1.31) is the hard luck loser after pitching 2 perfect innings in relief of Derek Holland (2-1 4.25). In the 10th, he got Mark Ellis to fly out to center before allowing Coco Crisp to single. The Sox then brought in Matt Thornton (0-2 3.38) and after Crisp stole second, Cliff Pennington drove him home with a single down the first baseline.
This resulted in a 4-3 win for the A's (16-25) and continued dominance over the White Sox in their home park dating back for the past few seasons. C A.J. Pierzynski hit his 2nd HR of the season for the Sox as they now turn their attention to 7 home games in 7 days.
First up for the Sox is AL Champion Texas Rangers (23-18) who are on a 3 game winning streak. The Sox get them for two games before the Indians (14-26) come to town for a 2 game set of their and finally the Dodgers (19-23) stop by for a 3 game weekend set.
The White Sox are 2nd place in the AL Central, sitting 2 games behind the Minnesota Twins (26-14).

Late inning losses becoming trendy
Chicago - Thought to be safe and secure from their recent woes, the White Sox (24-18) started their 7 game home stand today against the Texas Rangers (24-18). Adrian Beltre, however, had different plans. With the score tied at 2, the 3B, in his first season with Texas, blasted a solo home run off Jesse Crain (2-2 4.19) for what proved to be the deciding run.
Rangers closer Neftali Feliz (9sv 4.41) struck out the side in the bottom of the 9th to secure the win for the Rangers, who pulled even with the White Sox in the wild card standings.
Dave Bush (2-2 5.49) pitched well for 6 and 2/3 innings, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits, but it wasn't enough for the Sox, whose offense is proving to be aenemic.
The Sox 3-4-5 hitters combined to go 1-9 with 2 walks and no runs or RBI. Highlighting the troubles the offense has had lately are these facts.
