The other Danks plays part of hero
Jordan Danks hit his first major-league homer in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the Chicago White Sox overcame a three-run deficit to beat the Oakland
Athletics 4-3 on Friday night in Chicago.
With two outs in the ninth, Danks sent the first pitch he saw from Pat Neshek (1-1) deep into the right-field seats for a solo shot.
Brett Myers (1-1) pitched a scoreless inning to help the AL Central leaders win for the 11th time in 16 games.
