White Sox finish sweep of Red Sox at Fenway
BOSTON - Fenway is a friendly park to the Sox - the White Sox. Chicago won its seventh consecutive game at the home of the Boston Red Sox as Paul Konerko hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning and a two-run homer in the ninth in a 7-4 victory that completed a three-game series sweep on Wednesday.
BOSTON - Fenway is a friendly park to the Sox - the White Sox. Chicago won its seventh consecutive game at the home of the Boston Red Sox as Paul Konerko hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning and a two-run homer in the ninth in a 7-4 victory that completed a three-game series sweep on Wednesday.
"Playing three games here is not the same as playing in a lot of stadiums," Konerko said after another sellout crowd, the 660th straight at 99-year-old Fenway, watched the Red Sox waste a 3-0 lead after two innings. "There's an energy you get that you don't get other places. So that is a help if you use it right."
The White Sox did.
Gavin Floyd (6-5) allowed four runs and seven hits in 62/3 innings, but only one run and two hits in his last 42/3.
"When you give up runs early, the game can go either way," he said. "You just try to keep your focus and have faith and just go out there like it's 0-0."
After Konerko's 12th homer of the year made it 7-4 against Jonathan Papelbon, Sergio Santos pitched the ninth for his ninth save in 10 opportunities.
"The biggest [hit] to me was [Konerko's]," Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said. "You really don't want to be up by [only] one in this ballpark against that ballclub because you never know what's going to happen."
Actually, it's been fairly consistent when the White Sox play there: They win.
Their seven-game winning streak at Fenway is their longest there since they also won seven in 1958-59. They are 13-2 in their last 15 games against Boston and 9-1 beginning with the start of last season, at home and away.
"They've been playing good," David Ortiz said. "They weren't playing that good before they got here."
In their previous series, the White Sox were swept in three games at Toronto. And even after the sweep in Boston, they were 27-31 and trailed Cleveland by eight games in the AL Central.
"It's nice to get three wins before the off day, but we're still behind the eight ball," Konerko said. "We don't have any room, probably, for anymore lapses"
Boston lost its fourth straight for the first time since a six-game, season-opening slide.
"We're fine. We're fine," Dustin Pedroia said. "We had that day-nighter in Detroit [on Sunday] and got home around 5 in the morning and everybody has been kind of dragging. But the White Sox are playing good."
Konerko's homer was the 377th of his career, tying Norm Cash and Jeff Kent for 64th place all-time. He has two in his last two games. White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez wrapped up an outstanding series by going 3 for 5 with three runs and an RBI. He was 9 for 14 in the three games.

Rangers 3, Rays 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Colby Lewis scattered four hits over eight innings to lead Texas over reeling Tampa Bay.
Lewis (5-5) struck out eight and walked two. Neftali Feliz allowed a leadoff single to Ben Zobrist in the ninth before wrapping up his 11th save and completing the shutout.
Nelson Cruz put the Rangers ahead, 1-0, on a fifth-inning RBI single, and Elvis Andrus made it 3-0 in the eighth when he hit a two-out single off David Price - one pitch after Craig Gentry and Ian Kinsler pulled off a double steal to get into scoring position.
The Rangers took two of three from the Rays and are 7-3 over the last 10 games.
The Rays, on the other hand, have lost eight of 12 and now head off on an 11-game, 12-day road trip that begins Thursday night at Seattle.
Price (6-5) allowed three runs, five hits, and one walk and struck out eight in eight innings. Price faced the Rangers for the first time since losing both of his starts in last year's American League division series. In four previous regular-season outings against Texas, the lefthander went 0-2 with a 7.45 ERA.
Zobrist doubled in the first and went to third with two outs on a passed ball, but was left stranded when Rays slugger Evan Longoria struck out.
No other Tampa Bay runner reached second base over the next six innings.

Yankees 4, Athletics 2
OAKLAND, Calif. - A.J. Burnett settled down after an early homer to snap an 11-start winless streak on the road and help New York beat Oakland for the 10th straight time.
Derek Jeter got his 2,984th hit and Alex Rodriguez drove in a run for the Yankees, who have their longest winning streak against the A's since winning 14 in a row from 1956 to '57.
Burnett (6-3) had not won a game away from Yankee Stadium since last July in Cleveland, going 0-5 with a 5.64 ERA in his previous 11 road starts. He looked to be on his way to another rough day when Josh Willingham homered in the first inning, but didn't allow anything else.

SEATTLE - Adam Jones had three hits against his former team, including the go-ahead homer into the upper deck in the eighth inning, to lead Baltimore over Seattle.
Jones turned on a fastball from Jamey Wright (1-2) on the inside corner of the plate and hit a rocket into left field to give Baltimore the lead.
Jim Johnson (4-1) allowed one hit while retiring four batters to pick up the victory, and Kevin Gregg pitched the ninth inning for his ninth save. Making his season debut, Brian Matusz lasted 52/3 innings, allowing one run on four hits and striking out three.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Billy Butler hit a game-winning, two-run homer in the ninth inning to give Kansas City a dramatic win over Los Angeles.
Jeff Francoeur singled with one out before Butler connected off Scott Downs (3-2). The ball hit behind the outfield padding in left-center field and bounced back into play, and the umpires initially ruled it a double before video showed it to be a home run.
Tim Collins (3-2), the fifth Royals pitcher, pitched 11/3 flawless innings for the win.
Angels rookie Tyler Chatwood blanked the Royals over 72/3 innings on five singles.
