--DH Luke Scott hit his third home run of the season with one out in the fifth inning Wednesday. 

If Brad Bergesen's brilliant debut weren't proof enough, Wednesday's news solidifies the rookie's rotation slot long-term. 

In a matchup of two very good starting pitchers, John Danks outperformed Jeremy Guthrie in almost every way. 

Stretches of poor play on the road were a problem last year for the Chicago White Sox, but their first road trip of 2009 has provided reason for optimism. 

When aWhiteSox player isn?t performing up to expectations, general manager Kenny Williams is quicker than most of his peers to make a change.
