Post-Game Quotes
WHITE SOX MANAGER ROBIN VENTURA: On Danks pitching pretty well, but a couple changeups got him in trouble: Yeah, there was a couple pitches there, the one to Morales and Ibanez, but as far as seeing him pitch, even in spring training, this is the best hes looked as far as command, just coming out of his hand. I think it was as good night for him as far as pitching. He had a couple that got him, but other than that, I like the way he was throwing. On not expecting him to come off the disabled list and throw three straight shutouts: Yeah, but even with the amount of pitches he was throwing, honestly, he probably could have gone out and pitched some more. Again, its one of those when youre the guy that you cant give up any runs, its tough. Weve just got to be able to score some runs. On Ibanez at-bat in the 3rd that resulted in a home run: Its one of those [where] you keep fouling them off, and that timing just gets a little bit better on each one. It was away, but it was up enough for him to hook it.
