ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- John Danks thought he was better than his line showed on Saturday night.
The White Sox offense wasn’t.
The Tampa Bay Rays did enough damage against Danks in the third and fourth innings to snap a five-game winning streak by the White Sox, who lost 7-2 in front of 30,451 at Tropicana Field. Danks allowed a pair of home runs and five earned runs overall as the White Sox lost for the first time since April 8 when he started the home opener. Brett Lawrie blasted a massive two-run homer for the White Sox, who didn’t manage much else against Erasmo Ramirez and three Tampa Bay relievers.
