Sox Sweep Jays

The Sox completed their second consecutive sweep, taking the last game of the series with Toronto 5-4. It was the White Sox 5th sweep of the season if you count the two mini-series that they took from KC and Detroit. This was the Sox 8th consecutive victory, which equals the streak that the team was on before they dropped 3 in a row to the A's and Tigers at the end of April.
The offense once again broke out early, with Uribe hitting a solo shot in the 1st and Dye following with a 2 run shot in the 2nd. After putting up 2 more in the 4th, the Sox were kept of the board the remainder of the game.
Buehrle had to survive a pair of Uribe errors in the 4th, which cost the Sox 2 unearned runs. After allowing 2 singles and a walk to start the inning, Buehrle got Rios to ground to short, but Uribe short armed the backhand grab and the ball slipped just under his glove allowing one run to score. The next batter, Zaun, then hit an RBI single and kept the bases loaded for McDonald, who grounded to 2nd. Lopez's throw to Uribe at second base was short, and Juan lost his rythem after digging out the low feed and threw the ball away on the attempt at a DP. That allowed 2 more runs to score, making it a 5-4 ballgame.
The remainder of the game was without much action, save a scary play in the 9th. After a ground ball with one out and Gregg Zaun on 1st, Zaun went in hard at 2nd in an attempt to break up a double play, and in doing so made contact on the side of his head with Lopez's knee, knocking himself unconscious. Zaun was laid out on the field for nearly 15 minutes before being carted off on a stretcher. Hopefully it was just a stinger or a good shot to the head and is not a serious neck injury. I hope he has a speedy recovery and is able to get back out there sooner rather than later.

Streak update: The Sox extended their record of consecutive games with a lead to start a season to 31 games this afternoon.
