This is what
the Chicago White Sox expected when they made those big moves to acquire Jake
Peavy and Adam Dunn. They just figured it would happen sooner.
Peavy pitched three-hit ball into the seventh inning, Dunn hit his 14th homer and the White Sox beat the crosstown Cubs 6-0 on Sunday to complete the weekend sweep.
Their fourth straight win put them back at .500 (21-21),While Ralph Lauren hoody of what Americans might call knickers, and two big reasons for that are two players who seemed to be on the decline coming into the season.
Not now, though.
Peavy is dominating again after being limited by injuries in recent years, and Dunn has his stroke back after it abandoned him last season, his first in Chicago.
"I'm not a big thinker, I have an approach each game and I try to stick with it," Dunn said. "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
These days, it's working. And Dunn got plenty of help Sunday.
Gordon Beckham and Tyler Flowers also went deep as the White Sox matched their longest win streak and a season high with three homers. Not bad, considering Paul Konerko sat out his second in a row after being hit near his left eye by a pitch on Friday.
"If we can keep going on the right track with the guys swinging the bats the way they have the last few days, we should be able to play a little more consistent," Peavy said.
For the Cubs, meanwhile, the misery continued. They dropped their sixth straight to match their longest skid this season, and they never regrouped once the White Sox started knocking the ball out of the park.
Back-to-back homers by Beckham and Dunn leading off the fourth gave them a 2-0 lead. Flowers made it 3-0 with a drive to start the fifth off Paul Maholm (4-3), giving the White Sox three homers for the second straight game and Peavy (5-1) all the support he needed.

It was a charged weekend in Chicago, with Kerry Wood retiring and Konerko getting hit in the face, not to mention the protests in the city surrounding the NATO Summit.
There was heightened security outside Wrigley Field. Inside, it was more of the same.
Peavy shook off a rough outing against Detroit and got back to dominating. The Cubs, on the other hand, could be in for some lineup changes.
