Comeback kids: White Sox 6, Giants 2
Korey Lee keys ninth-inning comeback, with Lenyn Sosa piling two more runs on
The doom and gloom gets swept away for a couple of days, as the White Sox kept Grady Sizemore sleepless as Chicago manager by rallying for a 6-2 win with four ninth-inning runs on Wednesday. Korey Lee was the killer, falling behind 0-2 with the sacks packed and two outs before taking his batter timeout, regathering, working the count even and slapping a flat sinker into center field for the decider. Lenyn Sosa snapped his slump by turning on another high sinker and grounding it through to left field for two more.
The White Sox will go at least two days without losing now, with an off-day Thursday. Back home and facing the pathetic (but still 31 games up on us, in fourth place) Detroit Tigers on the South Side on Friday.
