South Side Sox — On their 38th try of 2013, the White Sox finally scored more than seven runs in a game.

He also drew a walk, stole a base and scored three runs. He was able to cross the plate thanks to the guy behind him. Dunn hit a pair of homers along with a double, walked, and drove...

South Side Sox — This story would have been a lot different if Alex Rios didn't hit a weak grounder off the end of the bat toward the hole on the left side with two outs in the seventh inning. Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada cut it off and made a terrific on-target jump throw, but it was half a step too late. Rios beat it out for an infield single, and because he did, Matt Harvey's dominant performance won't be officially recognized as any amazing feat. Hell, thanks to Hector Santiago, he didn't even get the win. Harvey allowed just the one hit over nine innings. Here's how dominant he was -- he struck out...
