 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - The struggling Chicago White Sox fanned 15 times, yet still gave themselves a reason to feel good about the way they swung the bats. Rookie Andy Gonzalez went 4-for-5 and drove in two runs, and the White Sox showed signs of pulling out of an offensive funk with plenty of clutch hitting against Tampa Bay during a 5-4 victory that stopped a five-game losing streak on Monday night.
Jim Thome, Paul Konerko and Josh Fields also drove in runs for the White Sox, who finished with 12 hits — two shy of their season high — after being limited to two runs and two extra-base hits while losing three straight to the crosstown Cubs over the weekend.
"You look at the scoreboard. Fifteen strikeouts," Guillen said. "But we got big hits. Two-out base hits. When they had the opportunity to do it, they did it."
