Dye, Iguchi help power White sox past Orioles

<h3>CHI WHITE SOX 11, BALTIMORE 5</h3>CHICAGO (Ticker) -- When the Chicago White Sox provide decentrun-support for rookie John Danks, he usually takes care of therest.

Danks pitched 6 1/3 effective innings and Jermaine Dye andTadahito Iguchi each homered and drove in three runs apiece asthe White Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 11-5, on Thursday.

Jim Thome had two hits and also drove in a run and Juan Uribealso hit a two-run homer for Chicago, which has won eight of 11.The 11 runs were the most by the White Sox this year.

Chicago, which split four games with Baltimore, also avoidedlosing its first home series to the Orioles in over six years.Baltimore last won a road series here on June 29-July 1, 2001.

After the White Sox scored early and often in the first twoinnings, Danks (5-6) took over the rest of the way.

The rookie allowed five runs, seven hits and a walk for hissecond win in his last three starts. The lefthander, who struckout three, is 5-0 when the team scores five-plus runs and 0-6when the White Sox only tally three runs or less.

Danks ran out of gas in the seventh when, with a runner onsecond, he allowed a one-out single to Freddie Bynum beforesurrendering a two-run homer to Corey Patterson to make thescore 10-5.

Manager Ozzie Guillen then replaced Danks with reliever NickMasset, who retired the next two batters to get out of theframe.

In the bottom of the first, Iguchi lined a double intoright-center field off rookie Brian Burres to to put Chicago onthe board. Jim Thome followed with an RBI single and advancedto second on a base hit by Paul Konerko. One out later, Dyesmashed his 12th homer into the second row of seats in leftfield to give the White Sox a 5-0 lead.

Chicago added two more in the second when Iguchi belted a 3-1pitch from Burres (4-3) over the right field wall to increasethe lead to 7-0.

The blast knocked the Orioles' rookie out of the game. The26-year-old was tagged for a season-high seven runs, six hitsand a walk in 1 1/3 innings. It was his shortest outing thisseason.

In the sixth, Uribe hit an opposite-field two-run homer andIguchi tripled and later scored on Thome's groundout to make it10-2. An RBI single by Josh Fields in the seventh completed thescoring for Chicago.

Nick Markakis had two hits, including a two-run double, forBaltimore.

Jim Thome had two hits and also drove two and Juan Uribe alsohit a two-run homer for Chicago, which has won eight of 11. The11 runs were the most by the White Sox this year.

"Lately we've been swinging the bats pretty good," White Soxmanager Ozzie Guillen said. "We've started to get better onoffense and hopefully we continue to do that."

Chicago, which split four games with Baltimore, also avoidedlosing its first home series to the Orioles in over six years.Baltimore last won a road series here on June 29-July 1, 2001.

After the White Sox scored early and often in the first twoinnings, Danks (5-6) took over the rest of the way.

"It's great anytime you can pitch with a seven-run cushion,"Danks said. "It makes my job a lot easier. These guys weregreat tonight. They made some great plays behind me andobviously put up a lot of runs."

The rookie allowed five runs, seven hits and a walk for hissecond win in his last three starts. The lefthander, who struckout three, is 5-0 when the team scores five-plus runs and 0-6when the White Sox only tally three runs or less.

"It's obviously a lot more fun to win," Danks said. "We allfeel great. We've won a few games here as of late, andhopefully we keep it going."

Danks ran out of gas in the seventh when, with a runner onsecond, he allowed a one-out single to Freddie Bynum beforesurrendering a two-run homer to Corey Patterson to make thescore 10-5.

One out later, Dyesmashed his 12th homer into the second row of seats in leftfield to give the White Sox a 5-0 lead.

"To put up five runs in the first gave everybody a lot of reliefnot to stress and to just go out there and have good at-bats,"Dye said. "I think that kept everybody loose all night."

Chicago added two more in the second when Iguchi belted a 3-1pitch from Burres (4-3) over the right field wall to increasethe lead to 7-0.

The blast knocked the Orioles' rookie out of the game. The26-year-old was tagged for a season-high seven runs, six hitsand a walk in 1 1/3 innings. It was his shortest outing thisseason.

"Burres didn't have it," Orioles interim manager Dave Trembleysaid. "He pitched behind and was ball one it seemed on everybatter. Then when he did throw it in the middle of the plate,they whacked it."

In the sixth, Uribe hit an opposite-field two-run homer andIguchi tripled and later scored on Thome's groundout to make it10-2. An RBI single by Josh Fields in the seventh completed thescoring for Chicago.

"I really believe Sox baseball is about getting consecutivehits, and keeping a rally going," said Iguchi through aninterpreter. "We're finally getting back to what we're able todo. Hopefully we can get a lot of games like this in the secondhalf."

Nick Markakis had two hits, including a two-run double, forBaltimore.
