Dye, Danks lead White Sox past Twins Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Juan Uribe and Jermaine Dye each homered to
lead Chicago past division rival Minnesota, 6-2, in the rubber match of a
three-game series at U.S. Cellular Field.
John Danks (3-3) earned the win by allowing two runs on six hits and two
walks, while fanning five in his five-inning start for the White Sox. The
bullpen, anchored by Bobby Jenks, pitched four scoreless innings, allowing
just two hits with one walk and six strikeouts.
Dye and Carlos Quentin each tallied two hits, while Joe Crede scored twice for
the victors.
Nick Swisher is penciled in to bat seventh in the White Sox lineup tonight, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Our View:Swisher holds a .211 batting average over 40 games, with four homers and 10 RBI, but still managed to score 23 runs, due to a .339 on-base percentage.
Danny Richar is progressing well from his fractured first left rib, and the Sox hope he will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte by the end of the month, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Our View:Richar has dealt with the injury since spring training. With Juan Uribe's average south of the Mendoza line, Richar could eventually earn some starts at second.
