CHICAGO -- Chris Sale struck out 11 in 6 2-3 innings, A. Jerry Rice Jersey .J. Pierzynski had a two-run home run in a five-run sixth inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 7-3 on Sunday. Sale (14-3) reached double digits in strikeouts for the third time this season. He had 10 strikeouts through the first five innings, allowed two runs on solo homer and walked none. Oakland starter Bartolo Colon (9-9) allowed six runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings. He struck out two and walked two. With the score tied 1-all in the sixth, Pierzynskis 23rd homer put the White Sox up 3-1. Dewayne Wise then added an RBI single and, after As left fielder Yoenis Cespedes committed an error and Colon issued an intentional walk, Gordon Beckhman delivered a bases-loaded, two-run single to make it 6-1. The As struggled defensively, making three errors and failing to cover home in the seventh when the White Sox added their final run. Pierzynski scored from first on Alexei Ramirezs groundout to shortstop, as third baseman Adam Rosales and shortstop Cliff Pennington bumped on the play, and no one covered home plate. Sale allowed home runs to Rosales, his second of the year, and Jonny Gomes, who added his 14th homer. Gomes has a homer in each of his last three games. Derek Norris homered off Addison Reed in the ninth. Chicago took a 1-0 lead on Adam Dunns sacrifice fly in the third. The As hit back-to-back, two-out singles in the fifth, but Sale escaped the jam with his 10th strikeout. Sale was checked in the fifth inning after he appeared to slip on the infield grass while trying to field an infield single. After warm-up tosses, he remained in the game. Pennington made two errors, but also had two singles against Sale. Notes: White Sox 1B Paul Konerko (concussion) will undergo a concussion-related test on Monday. If the results are encouraging, the 36-year-old can resume baseball activities Tuesday and be activated from the 7-day disabled list as early as Friday. . 3B Kevin Youkilis (left arm, right knee) was out of the lineup and is considered day-to-day. He was hit by a pitch in the arm Saturday. "Its not a fracture or anything, but its swollen and it doesnt feel too good," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. .As 3B Brandon Inge was out of the lineup after he dislocated his right shoulder on a diving play Saturday. He remained in the game after the injury and delivered the go-ahead hit. Inge hopes to return to the lineup Tuesday after Mondays off day. .The As switched their Wednesday and Thursday probable starters against Kansas City, scheduling Brandon McCarthy for Wednesday and Dan Straily for Thursday. McCarthy (shoulder) returned from the disabled list on Friday.

White, the 16th overall pick in the 2012 draft, has been absent from Houstons practices for almost a week and called the team "inconsistent for how it was helping him deal with his anxiety issues and obsessive compulsive disorder.OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie restructured his contract Tuesday to remain with the team. At one point during negotiations, McKinnie walked away from the table and posted on Twitter that his time with the Ravens was over. His tweet shortly before noon read: "Decision is made! Im gone!" But the sides reconvened later, and the 6-foot-8, 360-pound left tackle begrudgingly reworked his contract rather than start to look for another job. He was supposed to receive a $3.2 million base salary in 2012, his second year with the Ravens. "Hes been a part of us. He never left us," coach John Harbaugh said late Tuesday afternoon. "Im excited about Bryant, always have been, just like I told him. I have a lot of respect for him as a football player. I love his style of play. Were going to be a strong offensive line and hes a big part of it." Asked if the salary adjustment could be a distractiion, Harbaugh said, "Really no concern about that. Tarell Brown Jersey. I dont think it will be an issue at all. Guys are pros and guys understand the business aspect of all this stuff. Hes a great guy, hes a hard worker and hes a pro. Hes a Raven and Im really happy about that. He seems happy about it, too." McKinnie signed with Baltimore during the off-season last year and started all 16 games. After reporting late to camp this summer because of a back injury, he played with the second-team offence for a few weeks before regaining the starting job on the left side of the line. "Bryants a hardworking guy. Thats our expectation," Harbaugh said. "Our expectation is that guys come out, practice hard and practice fast and give us their best. Hes always doing that. I think he continues to work his way back toward that Pro Bowl form. Both he and I agree thats our goal for him. We talked about that as far as last winter." ' ' '
