Podsednik earns White Sox two-game lead

SCOTT PODSEDNIK belted a walk-off home run to seal a 7-6 White Sox victory over Houston on Sunday, ensuring Chicago teammate Paul Konerko’s grand slam didn’t go to waste in game two of the World Series.

The White Sox seized a two-games-to-none lead in the best-of-seven series, which heads to Houston tonight for game three.

Podsednik, who didn't homer in 507 at-bats during the regular season, hit his second home run of the playoffs with one out into the centre field seats off Astros closer Brad Lidge.
