Chisox cool Jay bats


AP   2003-05-21 02:54:57  



CHICAGO -- Bartolo Colon cooled off Toronto's bats last night and the Chicago White Sox ended a four-game losing streak by beating the Blue Jays 4-1.

Colon won his third straight start, allowing nine hits and getting a great catch from left fielder Carlos Lee to shut off a Jays' potential rally in the fifth.

Colon pitched his third complete game of the season and 20th of his career, striking out six and walking two.

Toronto entered the game leading the majors in batting average, runs, hits, total bases and doubles. The Jays had won four straight, scoring 41 runs.

Struggling offensively most of the season, Chicago scored four unearned runs, thanks to a pair of errors by first baseman Carlos Delgado. Delgado's low throw led to two unearned runs in the third off Doug Davis.

Miguel Olivo singled and took third when Delgado fielded Tony Graffanino's grounder and threw to second, hitting Olivo as he was sliding into second.

The Jays looked as if they might get out of the inning when Jose Valentin bunted back to the mound and Olivo was thrown out at the plate, leaving runners at first and second. But Frank Thomas walked to load the bases and, one out later, Carlos Lee also walked, forcing in a run.

Paul Konerko, batting .150 with runners in scoring position, then hit a hard one-hopper off Davis's leg for a single that made it 2-0.

Frank Thomas, in a 1-for-15 skid, doubled in a run in the seventh after Delgado allowed Valentin's grounder to go through his legs.
