White Sox's Brett Lawrie: Blasts pair of homers in Saturday victory

Lawrie went 3-for-4 with an inside-the-park homer, a solo shot, three RBI and two runs in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the White Sox.

Analysis:

The veteran infielder blasted a second-inning R.A. Dickey offering to left field that bounced back onto the field after second base umpire Ted Barrett had signaled it a home run. The Blue Jays' Michael Saunders didn't bother to give chase to the ball immediately as a result, but Lawrie never stopped running, allowing him to cross the plate safely. The umpires eventually conferred and ruled the ball had never officially cleared the fence, but awarded Lawrie the run anyhow. He also added a fourth-inning solo shot, making it the first time in 42 years that a White Sox player hit both an inside-the-park and over-the-wall homer in the same contest. After a mostly miserable month, Lawrie has now gone 8-for-12 with two homers and three RBI over his last three games.
