Baltimore steamrolled the White Sox in two games to open a must-sweep home series, having swung a division lead back to a half-game over the Yankees and riding nicely as the best team in the AL entering play on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, the White Sox walloped the Orioles, 8-1.

Nicky Lopez had a leadoff smack-a-lacka, his first-ever in our uniform:
