 BOSTON (AP) - A.J. Pierzynski went 3-for-4 with three RBIs on Thursday night, making Daisuke Matsuzaka pay for a career-high six walks and leading the Chicago White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the plummeting Boston Red Sox.
Javier Vazquez (7-5) allowed two runs, nine hits and two walks, striking out five in 6 1-3 innings to win his fourth consecutive decision. Paul Konerko hit his 21st homer for the White Sox, and Bobby Jenks pitched the ninth for his 26th save.
Matsuzaka (11-7) allowed three runs and two hits while striking out six. But he bunched his walks together — two in the first and three in the sixth — and both times Pierzynski was there to drive the runners in.
