Round 1 Begins: Chisox take 2 of 3 from Friars

First Series Write-Up Comes from Joey Scigliano (SDP):

Game 1 at San Diego,

Jake Peavy and Clayton Richard squared off in this pitcher dominated game.  San Diego got out to an early lead when Maybin tripled and scored on an Everth Cabrera bunt.  However, the Sox came back to to tie the game when De Aza walked, stole second and scored when Paul Konerko doubled off the left field wall. The same two paired up in the 8th to plate the go ahead run.   White Sox 2....Padres 1.

Game 2 at Chicago,

The swingin' Friars smacked three round trippers to even the series at one a piece.  Denorfia, Headly, and Grandel (not the same beast from the epic Beowulf poem).  all reached the bleachers as the Padres smashed 11 hits. Chris Denorfia was the hitting star as he also added a double and drove in 4 runs to add former Red Edison Volquez for the victory. Volquez, sporting short locks as a Padre, went 6 innings allowing only 2 runs. Sale got the loss for the Pale Hose.  Padres 7...White Sox 3.

Game 3 at Chicago,

The Sox battered Padres pitching to the tune of six home runs, 14 hits, and 10 runs. The undisputed hitting star was Dunn, who hit 3 taters and was an impossible out with his 4 RBI.  Viciedo, Konerko, and Kevin Youkilis also went deep in this laugh er.  Veal got the win in relief and the lose was given to Andrew Cashner, who was pounded for 3 home runs in only 2 innings of work.  White Sox 10....Padres 4.

MVP of the series----Adam Dunn with 3 homeruns.
