Danks in Control

John Danks walks the leadoff batter in the sixth, but comes back to strike out the next two, then retires the side on a fly ball. He's walked two and struck out six through six innings and his 86 pitches means he should get through the seventh. We're seeing here why the playoff game with the Twins was so costly to the White Sox. They could have used Danks starting two games in this series.

Update: Danks gives up a two-run homer to Upton in the seventh. He lasts 6 2/3 innings, allowing three runs, a quality start. The Rays are now batting in the top of the eighth.

Update: The Rays get a man on but don't score in the eighth. The White Sox lead 5-3 and are three outs away from playing Monday.
