Right fielder Jermaine Dye smacked a grand slam at Comerica Park where the
Chicago (AL) White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers by the score of 12 to 6.
Dye was really in 'the zone'. He blasted a Grand Slam homerun in the 5th
inning, doubled scoring two baserunners in the 7th inning and lined a
one-base hit in the 9th inning. Chicago (AL) had a total of 13 hits for the
game.
Jose Contreras(9-4) went 6 and 2/3 innings allowing 4 runs for the victory.
The losing pitcher was Kenny Rogers(12-5). He gave up 9 runs in 4 and 2/3
innings of work.
'It's just about getting in a good hitting position and just going out there
and being prepared,' Dye said. 'You try to hit in your own capacity and not
do too much. I just try to have a good approach, day after day, game by game,
and pitch by pitch.'
