Before Friday, he was 8 for 44 (.182) with 17 strikeouts in his last 14 games.“I felt good today,” said Delmonico, who spent two months on the DL with a broken hand. “I feel like I’m starting to get my rhythm back and not trying to do too much.”Tim Anderson went 3 for 3 with a walk and two stolen bases for Chicago.Abreu’s homer was his 22nd. The White Sox have homered in a season-high nine straight games, totaling 13 during that stretch.James Shields (5-14) allowed three runs on six hits in seven innings to snap a five-start winless streak.

Yolmer Sanchez then followed with a slow grounder to shortstop that Alcides Escobar booted for an error — snapping the Royals’ 16-game errorless streak.Right-hander Jason Adam came on to replace Tim Hill (1-4) and Abreu hit the first pitch into the left-center bleachers to give the White Sox a 5-3 lead.“You can’t throw belt-high fastballs down the middle to Abreu,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He can hammer it. Jason’s been throwing the ball good for us. Tonight he was just center-cutting a lot of fastballs.”Chicago wasn’t through. After Matt Davidson struck out for the first out http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-carlos-santana-jersey , Leury Garcia singled and stole second.
