Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - A.J. Pierzynski made it five straight games with a home run on Sunday afternoon, as his two-run blast in the seventh inning helped the White Sox beat the Angels, 4-2, in the rubber match of a three-game series.

Pierzynski came on as a pinch-hitter in the seventh with a runner on first. He smacked Jerome Williams' offer over the wall in right-center field to put Chicago in front.

Pierzynski tied the franchise record for consecutive games with a home run. Paul Konerko accomplished the feat from June 17-21, 2011.
