"Paul Konerko is in the middle of a dream stretch for a hitter, and the Chicago White Sox slugger is not ready to wake up from it.

He slugged the first pitch he saw from Cubs righthander Matt Garza Tuesday night and deposited it into the left field bleachers at U.S. Cellular Field. It was his 21st homer of the season and the fifth straight game in which he has homered.

Konerko is the sixth player in White Sox history to homer in five straight games. The previous one was Carlos Lee in 2003.

At age 35, Konerko is showing no signs of slowing down. He entered the game hitting .327 with 58 RBIs."
