Dunn goes 4 for 4 with 2 homers to power White Sox to 10-6 win over Blue Jays in fog

CHICAGO â Adam Dunn made it seem as if he had no trouble seeing through the dense fog.

Dunn went 4 for 4 with two homers and five RBIs to overcome two home runs and five RBIs by Toronto's Jose Bautista and give the Chicago White Sox a 10-6 victory in a game delayed over an hour because of limited visibility Monday night.

"It was actually pretty tough," Dunn said about the fog. "It was probably a lot tougher for the outfielders.

"It was worse than when it rains. With the lights, it made it really really bright. It was weird."

Dunn hit a three-run home run off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (5-8) in the fourth inning after he hit a solo shot in the third.

Dunn, who entered the game with a .165 batting average, hit home runs that were estimated at 444 and 441 feet.

"I don't think I've faced that many (knuckleballers)," Dunn said. "I think I faced Tim Wakefield a few times and a couple other guys.

The game was played from the second inning on in fog which became so thick in the third inning that fly balls became an adventure. Umpires stopped play in the third for 1 hour, 10 minutes and the fog continued to varying degrees even after the break.

"It wasn't being called," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said after his team's third straight win. "It's just you can't predict. It's not like rain.

"It would clear up and all the sudden you couldn't see an outfielder. Very odd," Ventura added. "It was probably worse on the outfielders because they couldn't really see when it was coming off the bat."

Like Dunn, Bautista made it simple for the outfielders by simply sending it well over their heads.

Bautista matched a career high with five RBIs and his first-pitch, first-inning home run with Melky Cabrera on first base gave Toronto a 2-0 lead.

Dylan Axelrod allowed Bautista's two-run shot in the first inning and three-run drive in the fourth, as well as a solo shot by Colby Rasmus in the fifth.

Axelrod lasted four innings and gave up eight hits, six runs and four walks.

At least on the home runs he gave up, Axelrod said he didn't mind the fog.

"I didn't see all those home runs go out," he said. "So that's cool."

Dickey went five innings and allowed seven runs, 10 hits and a walk.

Addison Reed pitched the ninth after Jesse Crain pitched out of an eighth-inning jam as the White Sox bullpen threw five scoreless innings. Crain has thrown 25 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings.

"You get that lead and you start mixing and matching with guys," Ventura said. "Jesse again coming in in the situation that he's been coming in, he's been big."

Reliever Nathan Jones (2-4) got the victory.

Trailing 2-0, the White Sox rebounded with a five-hit, three-run second inning against Dickey, capped by Alejandro De Aza's two-run, two-out single.

The White Sox loaded the bases with singles by Dunn, Jeff Keppinger and Gordon Beckham.

Dunn made it 4-2 with his solo home run in the third prior to the delay.

Then Bautista made it 5-4 for Toronto with his three-run homer in the fourth.

Dunn's second homer made it 7-5 before Rasmus' shot made it 7-6.

The White Sox added three runs in the eighth inning helped by two errors by the Blue Jays. Beckham led off with a single and went to third on an error by Edwin Encarnacion. With one out, he scored on an error by Emilio Bonifacio. Paul Konerko and Dunn added RBI singles later in the inning.
