Baseball Betting Lines

07/02/2009 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mark Buehrle took a shutout into the ninth inning, as the Chicago White Sox extended their season-high win streak to six games with a 4-1 win over the Kansas City Royals.

Buehrle (8-2) allowed a run on six hits, walked none and struck out one in 8 1/3 frames. He did not give up the run until the ninth, when Bobby Jenks entered to get the final two outs, in addition to his 19th save this season.

Jayson Nix had two hits, including a homer, while Jim Thome went 2-for-4 and scored once to help the White Sox take the opener of the four-game series.

Bruce Chen (0-2) got his second start of the season for the Royals and for the second time took the loss, despite a solid outing. He surrendered two runs on five hits in six-plus innings, with one walk and five strikeouts.

David DeJesus doubled and drove in the lone run for Kansas City, which has lost three in a row and six of eight.

Nix homered to left to lead off the fourth, getting Chicago on the scoreboard, and the White Sox held on to the lead thanks to Buehrle. The left-hander benefited from inning-ending double plays in the first, second and fifth innings to move the game along and keep his pitch count low.

Also, Buehrle was perfect in the fourth and sixth, and Chicago added another run in the seventh. Thome led off with a double and Paul Konerko followed with a single to put runners on the corners. Chen was lifted in favor of Ron Mahay who got A.J. Pierzynski to ground into a double play. Thome scored on the play to make it a 2-0 game.

Buehrle worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh, and the White Sox went up 3-0 in the eighth. Scott Podsednik's single plated Brian Anderson, who reached on a walk and went to second on a wild pitch.

After Buehrle again was perfect in the home eighth, Josh Fields scored on Gordon Beckham's RBI groundout in the top of the ninth to push Chicago's lead to four.

Buehrle ran into trouble in trying to complete the shutout, as Alberto Callaspo opened the bottom of the ninth with a double. Callaspo scored two batters later, when DeJesus doubled. Buehrle was taken out for Jenks, who got the next two batters out to end the game.
