On Friday night, the White Sox wasted no time. In the top of the first inning, first baseman Paul Konerko hit a two-run homerun to cap off a three-run inning.

That turned out to be enough, as starting pitcher Jon Garland surrendered only two runs to the Angels in the first of a maximum of three games in L.A. For good measure, the White Sox added two more runs, on hits by Konerko and outfielder Carl Everett.
The win gave the White Sox a 2-1 lead in the series. If the Sox take one of the next two in Los Angeles, they will be in the driver's seat. They'll only have to win one of two games at home (games 6 and 7).
They also have the rotation of Freddy Garcia, Jose Contreras, Mark Buehrle and Jon Garland to close out this series. Considering the way Contreras, Buehrle, and Garland pitched, the Sox seem to be in great shape to win this American League Championship Series and advance to their first World Series since 1959.
