08/12/2008 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Javier Vazquez threw eight shutout innings, and
Jermaine Dye hit a two-run homer and drove in three, as the Chicago White Sox
blanked Kansas City, 9-0, in the first of three games with the Royals.
Vazquez (9-10) allowed just five hits and one walk, while tying a season high
with 10 strikeouts, to earn the win. Vazquez had lost five of his last six
decisions.
Nick Swisher and A.J. Pierzynski added solo home runs for Chicago, which leads
the major leagues with 168 homers. The White Sox have won two of three
overall.
Brian Bannister (7-11) took the loss after giving up four runs on four hits in
seven innings of work. He also walked just two and struck out seven, but gave
up all three White Sox homers en route to losing his fifth consecutive
decision.
Alex Gordon tripled and Mike Aviles doubled for the Royals, who have lost five
of six.
Dye gave the White Sox an early lead. Orlando Cabrera got on base with a
leadoff single in the home first, and two batters later Dye crushed the ball
beyond the fence in center field for a 2-0 edge.
In the fifth with the bases empty and two outs, Swisher got a fastball down
the middle of the plate and slammed it to right field, increasing the White
Sox lead to three. Pierzynski hit his own solo homer in the sixth, to left
field.
Bannister managed to avoid further trouble for the rest of his outing, but
Josh Newman came on to pitch in the eighth and allowed Chicago to turn the
game into a blowout.
Juan Uribe led off with a double, and two batters later Pierzynski chased him
home with another two-base hit. Dye followed with yet another double to plate
Pierzynski for a 6-0 lead. After Jim Thome reached on an error, putting
runners in scoring position, Paul Konerko plated another run with a sacrifice
fly.
Brian Anderson doubled to bring Thome in and pinch-hitter Chris Getz punched a
single up the middle to score Chicago's final run. Adam Russell finalized the
shutout with a 1-2-3 ninth.
