Baseball Betting Lines

09/08/2007 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A.J. Pierzynski's RBI single in the 13th inning gave the Chicago White Sox an 11-10 win over the Minnesota Twins in a contest that saw both teams score six runs in the ninth inning to send it to extra frames.

Jim Thome hit home run 496 in his career, a three-run shot in the ninth, and drove in four, while Josh Fields and Juan Uribe each drove in a pair of runs for the White Sox, who snapped a small two-game slide.

Heath Phillips (1-1) got his first career major-league win for pitching a scoreless 13th inning. Javier Vazquez started on the mound and gave up four runs on 11 hits in six innings of work.

Rondell White hit a three-run home run and Justin Morneau went 3-for-7 with two RBI and two runs scored for the Twins, who have dropped their last five games.

Juan Rincon (3-3) got the loss while starter Carlos Silva gave up three runs on eight hits in six innings of work.

In the home half of the 13th, Luis Terrero led off with a walk and moved to second on a sac bunt from Fields. After Thome was intentionally walked, Scott Podsednik hit a grounder to second that Nick Punto fielded and tossed to Jason Bartlett for the force at second, but second base umpire Joe West ruled that Bartlett wasn't on the base and called Thome safe. Pierzynski followed with a single to left to score Terrero and end the contest.

The teams combined for a first in Major League history. The game entered the ninth tied and both teams scored six runs in their respective at-bats to send the game to extra innings.

Minnesota initially grabbed the lead in the ninth.

With runners on first and third and one out, Torii Hunter laid down a grounder to third that Alex Cintron threw away and Punto crossed the plate.

Boone Logan then took the mound, but got hammered. Morneau greeted Logan with a single to score Bartlett, Michael Cuddyer followed with an RBI single and White made it a 10-4 game when he followed with a three-run shot over the left-center wall.

However, it didn't prove to be enough as the White Sox answered with six runs of their own in the bottom of the ninth.

Fields got things going as his two-run double to the gap in left-center plated Danny Richar and Cintron. Thome followed with a three-run blast over the left- center wall.

Joe Nathan then entered the game and walked Paul Konerko, who was replaced on the basepath by Podsednik. With Pierzynski at the plate, Podsednik stole second and, after Pierzynski struck out, advanced to third on a wild pitch. Darin Erstad then tied the game with a ground-rule double over the center field wall.

Minnesota took the lead in the first inning with a pair of runs. Jason Tyner and Bartlett led off with back-to-back singles and Hunter followed with a single to center to plate Tyner. Morneau then hit into a fielder's choice that scored Bartlett.

The White Sox got a run back in the bottom of the inning as Thome punched a single to right to score Jerry Owens.

Uribe gave Chicago a 3-2 lead in the second when he blasted a two-run shot over the left field wall, his 16th homer of the season.

Minnesota jumped back on top in the fourth with a pair of runs. Morneau led off with a single and Cuddyer drew a walk. Garrett Jones followed with a single to score Morneau and, after Brian Buscher struck out, Chris Heintz singled to left to score Cuddyer for a 4-3 lead.

Chicago, though, tied the game in the seventh when Cintron led off the frame with a pinch-hit homer over the right-center wall off Matt Guerrier.
