To say the White Sox bats have come alive in their last two games against the Indians would be an understatement.

In two starts, Sale has given up only four earned runs in 10.1 innings while striking out 10 and only walking three.

It began in earnest Monday night. Up until then, the city was distracted by Blackhawks playoffs, the Bears' draft, Bulls postseason and the Derrick Rose injury.

P.J. Walters turned in a season-best performance for any Twins starting pitcher and the bats more than did the rest, as Minnesota routed Chicago, 9-2, to kick off a three-game set at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Chicago White Sox head into their series against the Minnesota Twins having won four games in a row, including a sweep of the Cubs over the weekend.

Gonzalez, who spent the 2006 season pitching for the Phillies' Double-A Reading affiliate, made his first career appearance at Citizens Bank Park on Monday night wearing the road grays of the Nationals and was dominant in six shutout innings, allowing just three hits while striking out nine to lead Washington to a 2-1 win.

Since joining Minnesota's rotation a week and a half ago, P.J. Walters has been solid for the Twins and will try to keep it up when they open up a three-game series against the White Sox on Tuesday.

Outside of his last start, Jake Peavy has walked the talk this season. It sure would be swell if Peavy were to resume his resurgence at Wrigley Field today, because the fewer pinch-hitting situations the better.

The White Sox visit the Cubs this weekend, with A.J. Pierzynski in the role of most likely instigator now that Ozzie Guillen and Carlos Zambrano have gone to South Florida.

Between C.J. Wilson's uncharacteristic bout with wildness and a couple of balls that fell in the outfield and should have been caught, Angels manager Mike Scioscia's disposition after the game wasn't very sunny.

The Los Angeles Angels' new hitting coach was probably wondering what all the fuss was about during his first game in the dugout.

Back around the July 31 trade deadline in 2010, Williams and Rizzo were discussing a potential trade for Adam Dunn, which fell through.

The Red Sox are, according to Buster Olney , are headed down the path to trade Kevin Youkilis .

As painful as it was to witness, Jake Peavy was due for a bad start. We all knew he's not a sub-2.00 ERA pitcher, and his extreme flyballing tendencies, a power-hitting lineup and a lively park teamed up on Tuesday to put him in his place.

With one of his best showings at the plate this season, Albert Pujols took another step toward ending his early season struggles.

Phil Humber has thrown a perfect game, but since then has been unable to throw consistently solid games.

Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. I should start getting royalties for the number of times that I've had to profile Peavy this year.

"If [Kevin Youkilis] returns in a week and is ready to go, he plays third base. He's been here.
