White Sox Vs. Blue Jays: Ventura Switches Up Lineup In Paul Konerko's Absence

Monday night, the only thing working for the White Sox offense was Adam Dunn's bat, as the Big Donkey hit two home runs in an 11-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Chicago sends left-hander Jose Quintana (4-2, 2.78) to the mound to face right-hander Henderson Alvarez (7-9, 4.58).
