<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.southsidesox.com/">White Sox</a> awakened from their offensive slumber in a big way late Monday night in Anaheim, California; they hit three home runs, led by <span>Carlos Quentin</span>’s three-run shot in the seventh inning, and shut out the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.halosheaven.com/">Angels</a> 8-0.</p>
<p><span>Gordon Beckham</span>’s third homer of the season and <span>Alexei Ramirez</span>’s fourth, both off <span>Ervin Santana</span>, helped the Sox fashion a 4-0 lead going into the seventh; after Santana let the leadoff man in that inning get on base, he was removed for <span>Trevor Bell</span>.</p>
<p>One baserunner later, Bell served up the three-run jack to Quentin, who drove in five runs in all. Quentin now leads the Sox with eight HR and 23 <span class="caps">RBI</span>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <span>Edwin Jackson</span> was shutting down the Angels; he allowed just five hits and a walk in seven innings, and <span>Chris Sale</span> and <span>Will Ohman</span> threw a scoreless inning each, something the Sox bullpen has really needed lately.</p>
<p>The win gave the Sox their first three-game winning streak of 2011. The two teams will meet again in Anaheim Tuesday night at 9:05 p.m. <span class="caps">CDT</span>.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.southsidesox.com/">White Sox</a> have won only 12 games this year, and only six of their last 24. Five times they have won two games in a row, including the last two in Seattle. That actually gives them a much better road record (8-11) than home record (5-11).</p>
<p>They'll take that two-game winning streak and try to make it three in a row against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.halosheaven.com/">Los Angeles Angels</a> tonight in Anaheim. (Someday, the Angels will be able legally to drop the "of Anaheim" label. Not yet, though.) The Sox have been getting good pitching -- they've now allowed three runs or fewer in six straight games -- but are only 3-3 in those games due to a lack of offense.</p>
<p>The Angels, not expected to contend this year due to injuries and players growing old, are leading the AL West in the early going by two games over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.athleticsnation.com/">Athletics</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lonestarball.com/">Rangers</a>, tied for second place. The Angels have received surprisingly good production out of rookie 1B <span>Mark Trumbo</span>, who leads the team with 17 RBI. Meanwhile, the Sox are still waiting for Adam Dunn's bat to wake up.</p>
<p><span>Edwin Jackson</span> takes the mound for the Sox tonight against the Angels' Ervin Santana. Television is on CSN Chicago at 9 p.m. CDT.</p>
