08/28/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rookie Eduardo Nunez hit his first career home run and drove in a total of four runs, as the New York Yankees outlasted the Chicago White Sox, 12-9, in the second test of a three-game set from U.S. Cellular Field.
Marcus Thames homered twice for the Yankees, who remained tied atop the American League East standings with the Rays, who defeated the Red Sox on Saturday. Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer and knocked in a total of three runs.
CC Sabathia (18-5) went seven innings in the start, allowing five runs on nine hits to pick up his fifth straight win and MLB-best 18th victory. The left- hander also struck out nine and walked one.
Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez, and Andruw Jones each homered for the White Sox, who now sit 4 1/2 games behind Minnesota in the AL Central standings after the Twins beat the Mariners on Saturday.
John Danks (12-9) lasted just 4 1/3 frames, giving up eight runs on six hits to suffer the loss. He also fanned five batters and walked four.
The Yankees got the home run parade started in the top of the first inning. Derek Jeter led off with a walk and crossed the plate on Swisher's blast to left-center field.
Chicago got a run back in the home first via Konerko's RBI single.
New York got two-run homers from Nunez and Thames in the second and third frames, respectively, to build a 6-1 margin.
Konerko hit a two-run homer to left in the bottom of the third to make it a 6-3 game. Jones belted a two-run home run during Chicago's next at-bat to cut the gap to 6-5.
The Yankees, though, plated four runs in the fifth to make it 10-5. Swisher walked and Robinson Cano singled to put men on first and second with one out. Tony Pena relieved Danks and struck out Thames swinging. Jorge Posada followed with a two-run double to right. Pena then walked the next two batters to load the bases. Nunez stepped to the plate and drove in a pair of runs with a base hit.
Swisher's RBI single in the eighth extended New York's lead to 11-5.
The White Sox plated a pair of runs in the home eighth. Joba Chamberlain started the frame on the mound and put runners on second and third with one out. Boone Logan came in from the bullpen and got pinch-hitter Mark Teahen to ground out, but a run scored on the play. Gordon Beckham followed with an RBI double to cut the deficit to 11-7.
Thames homered in the top of the ninth to make it a 12-7 contest.
Chicago, though, made things interesting in the home ninth. Ramirez led off the frame with a homer off David Robertson. Alex Rios followed with a liner to right field. Austin Kearns was blinded by the lights and the ball rolled to the wall. Rios went to third on the play and crossed the plate on Konerko's base hit to make it 12-9.
That forced the Yankees to bring closer Mariano Rivera into the game. He got Carlos Quentin to ground into a double play. Ramon Castro singled and Jones walked to bring the tying run to the plate. Teahen, though, lined out to give Rivera his 26th save of the year.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
