Jered Weaver looked nothing like a pitcher who had a 7.02 ERA over his previous six starts. Weaver allowed one hit over seven innings, combining with two relievers on a three-hitter, and Mike Napoli hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 2-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.

Nick Adenhart didn't have long to enjoy his first major league victory. He was just happy to get it before he was sent down to the minors to make way for John Lackey's return to the Los Angeles Angels' rotation. After pitching the Angels to a 10-7 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night, Adenhart was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake and Jose Arredondo was recalled from the team's Pacific...

Rich Gossage isn't so tough anymore. The grit the Goose personified on the mound as a fearsome relief pitcher in a 21-year major league career was long gone Monday as he toured baseball's Hall of Fame and pondered his impending induction on July 27. "It's more mind-boggling than I ever imagined," Gossage said.

Raul Ibanez's long home run was the spark the Seattle Mariners needed. Ibanez hit a two-run drive to right that traveled an estimated 443 feet and the Mariners beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3 Sunday to snap a five-game losing streak. "When you hit one that far it puts some life in a ballclub," Seattle closer J.J.

A little trip to Seattle is doing wonders for the Chicago White Sox. Brian Anderson and Carlos Quentin each homered and combined for five RBIs in the second inning, powering the White Sox to an 8-4 victory over the slumping Mariners on Saturday night. Javier Vazquez (4-3) allowed six hits and four runs in 5 2-3 innings as the White Sox moved into a first-place tie with Minnesota in the AL Central...

Attention American League: bring your slumping and your shaky to Seattle -- as soon as you can get here. Jose Contreras pitched seven sharp innings, Paul Konerko hit a two-run double and the Chicago White Sox beat the skidding Mariners 4-2 on Friday night. Contreras (3-3) gave up one run and six hits as the White Sox won for just the third time in 10 games.

Juan Uribe's homer put the White Sox ahead and his old-fashioned hard slide that busted up a double play had his teammates and manager buzzing. Jermaine Dye homered for the third straight game and Uribe added a two-run drive in the fifth to help struggling Chicago beat the Minnesota Twins 6-2 on Thursday.

Carlos Gomez couldn't believe his name was in the same sentence as Kirby Puckett's. Gomez became the first Twins player since Puckett 22 years ago to hit for the cycle, Livan Hernandez took a shutout into the ninth and Minnesota beat the Chicago White Sox 13-1 on Wednesday night. "It's amazing," Gomez said.

Another near miss for Gavin Floyd. Toying with a no-hitter for the second time in a month, the Chicago White Sox's right-hander watched his latest effort sail away with one out in the ninth. Joe Mauer hit a high drive into the gap in left-center for a double, ending Floyd's no-hit bid and his outing Tuesday night.

The White Sox couldn't ask for much more from their pitchers right now. After a winless road trip, however, Chicago's hitters have a lot to answer for. Dustin McGowan outpitched Javier Vazquez in an entertaining duel, and Matt Stairs homered to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the slumping White Sox 1-0 Monday night for a four-game sweep.

Roy Halladay's complete game streak came to an end, but this time he did get the win. Halladay won for the first time in four starts, Matt Stairs scored twice and drove in two runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the White Sox 4-3 on Sunday, handing Chicago its season-high fifth straight loss. Halladay (3-4) had thrown complete games in his previous four starts, but lost the last three.

This has been one rough stretch of games for the Chicago White Sox. Vernon Wells drove in three runs, Marco Scutaro homered and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the White Sox 5-2 on Saturday, handing Chicago its season-high fourth straight loss. Chicago (14-14), which has dropped seven of 10 overall, dropped into a tie with Minnesota atop the American League Central.

Julio Franco finally called it quits. The 49-year-old announced his retirement from baseball after a 23-year career in the major leagues and stints in his native Dominican Republic, South Korea, Japan and Mexico. In 2007, he became the oldest player to hit a home run in the majors. "It was the hardest decision in my life," Franco said in an interview published Saturday by Mexican sports daily...

Shaun Marcum was struggling to hold down his lunch, but had no such trouble with the Chicago White Sox. Marcum struck out a season-high nine, Shannon Stewart drove in the only runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the White Sox 2-0 on Friday night, handing Chicago its third straight defeat. Marcum (3-2) won for the first time in three starts, lowering his ERA to 2.70.
