Three late long balls, three straight wins.
It took nearly a month, but maybe the Chicago White Sox have finally found the key to success.
Paul Konerko's solo home run off Brandon League in the eighth inning gave Chicago a 3-2 win over Seattle on Sunday at U.S. Cellular Field.
The victory capped a three-game sweep for the Sox, who took the first two games on walkoff homers. Andruw Jones hits a solo home run in the ninth inning for a 7-6 win Friday night. Alex Rios hit a two-run homer in the ninth on Saturday for a 5-4 victory.
John Danks (3-0) gave up two runs in eight innings. Bobby Jenks struck out pinch-hitter Ken Griffey Jr. on three pitches with two on in the ninth for his fourth save.
Franklin Gutierrez hit a solo homer in the fourth for the Mariners. Catcher Adam Moore, whose passed ball led to a Chicago run in the first, had an RBI single in the fifth. Carlos Quentin's RBI groundout in the sixth tied the game.
Seattle starter Jason Vargas allowed two runs in 6 2-3 innings. League fell to 2-1.
