08/20/2008 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ken Griffey Jr. belted his first home run in a White Sox uniform and Nick Swisher homered for the third consecutive game, as Chicago completed a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners with a 15-3 rout at U.S. Cellular Field.

A.J. Pierzynski and Alexei Ramirez also homered for the White Sox, who clubbed 10 home runs while outscoring the Mariners 33-8 during the series. Chicago scored at least 13 runs for the third time in four games and ran its winning streak to five.

The Sox, with their 73rd victory, surpassed their win total from last season when they finished 72-90. They also remained one game ahead of Minnesota in the AL Central, as the Twins beat the Athletics on Wednesday afternoon.

Gavin Floyd (13-6) threw six solid innings to earn the win and improve to 3-0 in his last five starts. He yielded three runs on six hits and two walks with seven strikeouts.

Seattle starter R.A. Dickey (3-8) was blasted for eight runs in just two innings and fell to 0-2 with a 10.90 earned run average in five outings this month.

Ichiro Suzuki was 3-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in defeat, while Raul Ibanez connected for his 20th homer and drove in all three Seattle runs. The Mariners have lost six straight and finished 1-7 on an eight-game road trip.
