I read the news today, oh boy. I’m sure we’ll be seeing Viciedo highlights on Sports Center of Dayan Viciedo‘s three run homer in the ninth that proves enough for the White Sox to beat the Yankees 4-3. Viciedo does one thing well as a hitter this season, and that’s hit home runs. He now has 14 homers for a .449 OBP, but only a .290 OBP.
In an unusual turn, Nova pitches very well, allowing one run and pitching into the eighth, but doesn’t get the win.
The White Sox beat the Indians 14-7 to shave another game off the Cleveland lead in the AL Central. Paul Konkerko hit three doubles and a single to lead the attack, while Dayan Viciedo homered and drove in five.
The White Sox offense is on a roll. They scored 40 runs in their last four games, and 81 runs in their last 12 games. Chicago generated six or more runs in nine of those games.
The pitching duel between Jake Peavy and Derek Lowe did not develop as each gave up a ton of runs.
The Chicago White Sox use four home runs to defeat the Angels 9-2. Carlos Quentin hit two to bring his season total to 15. He’s not hitting for much of an average, but 31 of his 59 hits have gone for extra bases. Dayan Viciedo picked up his first major league home runs as well. The 21-year-old third baseman was slugging over .500 when he was called up from the minors.
Scott Kazmir gave up seven runs, the third start in a row in which he allowed at least five runs. His ERA is up to 5.98, and I wonder how much longer the Angels will go with him in the rotation.
