In the first inning, Alexei Ramirez hit a homer to break the seal. In the third, Jermaine Dye went deep. Josh Fields hit a homer in the fourth. In the fifth inning, Chicago got homers from Paul Konerko, Jayson Nix and a second from Josh Fields.

On the mound, Gavin Floyd went six innings while allowing six hits, two walks and only one earned run. With the win, Floyd improved his record on the season to 5-5. Bobby Jenks pitched a hitless ninth inning to pick up his 18th save.

Despite the loss, the Dodgers still have the best record in baseball at 47-25. The White Sox, on the other hand, are in third place in the AL Central with a record of 34-37.

White Sox Hit Six Homers to Top Dodgers

Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez and Juan Uribe completed the rare feat for the White Sox. Thome, Konerko and Ramirez all homered off KC hurler Joel Peralta, before he was yanked in favor of Robinson Tejeda, who surrendered the final blast to Uribe.

The video shows the impressive accomplishment, but you have to wonder what was going through the head of Peralta, who gave up three of the bombs. After the first home run, he probably didn’t think much of it, but it had to be on his mind after the second dinger. It is most certainly, the third tater that he won’t be forgetting for the next few days.

If Peralta’s MLB career is ever cut short, I’m sure the White Sox would love to have him as a batting practice pitcher for their organization. Check out the video below to see all of the long balls.
