White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn hit a grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning Saturday as the South Siders routed the Houston Astros, 10-1. For Dunn, it was his 19th home run of the season.
Meanwhile, in Minnesota, Trevor Plouffe and the Twins put an 11-3 whooping on the Cubs. The loss drops the North Siders to a MLB-worst 19-40 on the year.
So, just to recap:
Adam Dunn's home runs: 19
Cubs wins: 19
It seems preposterous that Adam Dunn could finish the season with more home runs than the Cubs have wins. But hey, we're in June now. It's not early anymore, and Dunn is in a dead heat with the Cubs.
If The Big Donkey can get hot, he might be able to pull this off...
Dunn hit his 22nd home run of the season Thursday night in St. Louis. He now leads the Cubs, who are 21-42 after losing to Detroit earlier in the day.
