At least they'll have some extra time to savor this one. Jonathan Cannon pitched into the sixth inning and Nicky Lopez, Andrew Vaughn and Dominic Fletcher all homered for Chicago, which snapped a 12-game losing streak with an 8-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. The White Sox have 109 losses, but on this night they avoided inching closer to the modern big league record of 120.
Interim manager Grady Sizemore noted, 'It's been hard to come by, so we'll enjoy it and be ready for Friday. I think this was a night where it came together. It was nice to get some balls falling in, get good pitching, and then just clean defense. That's the way we want to play. It shows those guys how they can do it.'
Nicky Lopez expressed, 'Kind of crazy, huh? I don't hit them often, so when I do it's obviously a good feeling. That's not the type of player I am, so I'm not going up there to hit them.' Reflecting on the team's struggles, Lopez added, 'It's been tough this year to get those, but every win, everyone feels good. I feel like we're a broken record, but we pull so hard for each other in here. It's a close group.'
