Morning Box Score: White Sox Lose Another Road Game; Cubs Stun Brewers

Dave Chappelle said during his set at Oddball Comedy Fest last week that sometimes it's okay to walk away. The White Sox may want to consider that advice after they dropped their eighth game in a 10-game road trip at Camden Yards Friday night.
The long ball was once again the culprit for the Sox. John Danks allowed three homers and was tagged with all four runs allowed before he was pulled after 5 1/3 innings. Danks's record now stands at 4-12 on the year and his struggles on the mound indicate that he and the Sox should have simply let him rehab his injured shoulder this year instead of being shelled whenever he started.
Junior Lake hit his first grand slam, Chris Rusin stroked a two-run single set up by a Lake bunt and Kevin Gregg reached the 30-save mark as the Cubs had some fun at Wrigley Field Friday afternoon. Lake has been impressive since being called up from the minors and has 55 hits in his first 45 games, leading MLB rookies in that span.
