Read on....
Chicago White Sox third baseman Brent Morel tags out Baltimore Oriole Nick Markakis as he tried to steal third in the fifth inning of the White Sox's 4-3 victory Tuesday night in Baltimore. Chicago won its fifth straight.
Just when it seemed as if the Chicago White Sox were doomed to play out the string in a losing season, they put together their longest winning streak of the year.
Brent Morel homered and drove in two runs, Carlos Quentin also connected, and the White Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles, 4-3, Tuesday night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards for their fifth straight victory.
Before the current run, the White Sox were 52-58. They still have a losing record, but are well within striking distance of first-place Detroit in the AL Central.
"We've kind of just been waiting for this all year, really," Morel said. "We have a lot of potential. It's kind of been a disappointing year, but knowing that we have a little time left to make a push, hopefully we can keep playing well."
Morel, the No. 9 hitter in the lineup, played a huge part in Chicago's season-high seventh consecutive road win. In addition to driving in half his team's runs, the third baseman also made a diving stop of a grounder in the seventh inning with the potential tying run on third.
Gavin Floyd (10-10) gave up three runs in 6 2/3 innings for the White Sox. The Maryland native is 3-0 with a 2.28 ERA lifetime in Baltimore.
After Floyd left, the bullpen kept Baltimore hitless the rest of the way. Sergio Santos struck out Robert Andino for the final out to earn his 24th save and extend his road scoreless streak to 29 games.
