Pierzynski got a measure of revenge Sunday against Chen and the Kansas City Royals, homering twice among his four hits and driving in four runs as the Chicago White Sox snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 10-5 victory over the Royals. "Its still stinging and bothers me a bit," Pierzynski said. "It was nice to have a good day and get a win. It feels like its been a while. That gives us a chance to relax a bit. You feel like every day youre grinding, grinding, grinding and now were going towards the off-season." Paul Konerko and Pierzynski had back-to-back homers leading off the seventh against rookie reliever Louis Coleman. It was Konerkos 30th home run. Konerko, who also singled home Juan Pierre in the eighth for his 103rd RBI, has reached 30 home runs and 100 RBIs for the fifth time in his career. "Its one of those things that when I came into the season that I kind of felt like thats my job, to drive in runs," Konerko said. "The last couple of years Ive been kind of in a mode of switching up goals. I feel like if I can stay healthy and get in 150 games, the by product will be the numbers." The White Sox took an early 4-0 lead in ending the Royals seven-game winning streak, Kansas Citys longest run since notching seven in a row Sept. 13-18, 2008. "Im kind of like bummed out that I lost the game because were on a roll and playing really good," Chen said. "I was mixing in my pitches well, but unfortunately we didnt come out with a win. Were playing good and I wanted to keep it going." Pierzynskis three-run homer off Jesse Chavez in the eighth struck the right-field foul pole. It was Pierzynskis fourth career multihomer game -- the past two have been at Kauffman Stadium, his previous coming July 9, 2010.

In the fourth, Adam Dunn doubled home Alex Rios for his first extra-base hit against a left-hander, in his 89th at-bat this season. Dunn stopped at third on Viciedos single and scored on Gordon Beckhams sacrifice fly. The Royals scored a pair of runs in the fifth with Yamaico Navarro and Billy Butler getting the RBIs. Johnny Giavotellas triple in the sixth scored Jeff Francoeur, cutting the White Sox lead to 4-3. Giavotellas third hit in the ninth scored Eric Hosmer. Hosmer, who had three hits, had an RBI single in the seventh. The Royals collected 15 hits. "And we still lost," Royals manager Ned Yost said. Left-hander John Danks (7-12), who was 0-3 with a 10.91 ERA in his previous three starts allowed 10 hits and four runs in six-plus innings. "He wasnt perfect, but he made the pitches when he had to and thats what you want to see," Pierzynski said. Chen (11-8) took the loss and is 1-3 in four September starts. He allowed four runs on nine hits and two walks in 5 1-3 innings.

"They never look forward to playing us because they know its going to be hard and its going to be difficult. So when other teams are saying that, its a good thing." ' ' '
