Konerko Hits Two Bombs in White Sox's Win

Paul Konerko hit a pair of home runs to lead the Chicago White Sox over the Baltimore Orioles 6-1 Sunday. Hitting just .197 with three homers coming in, Konerko connected off Jeremy Guthrie leading off the second and sixth innings. Jose Contreras (2-2) earned his second win against Baltimore this season, giving up Brian Roberts' home run in the third.

Contreras allowed five hits, walked three, and struck out three in 6 2-3 innings while Guthrie (0-3) gave up three runs in five-plus, allowing five hits and two walks, striking out five. In the sixth, A.J. Pierzynski followed Konerko's homer with a single and Matt Albers replaced Guthrie. The teams split a doubleheader Saturday and finish the four-game series Monday afternoon.
