BP: Unconventional Thinking: Balanced White Sox are Central surprise

 
Behind two big homers by Jermaine Dye and another good start by Javier Vazquez, the Chicago White Sox extended their winning streak to seven games and their lead in the AL Central to 2½ games with a 7-2 win over the Indians Tuesday night.
