The White Sox are a member of the Central Division of Major League Baseball's American League. From to the present, the White Sox have played in U.S. in the first game. But Doug Drabek baffled the Angels (13-13) in the second game with his array of speed changes and the White Sox smacked around recently recalled Dennis Springer (0-1) for four runs and eight hits in three innings to secure a 4-2 victory. The Angels managed three hits in the second game, including Jack Howell's second home run in the third inning. Their other run came in the ninth on a walk to Alicea, a single by Edmonds and a groundout by Tim Salmon. Drabek, signed as a free agent by the White Sox after spending the past 10 seasons in the National League with Pittsburgh and Houston, pushed his record to 2-3, allowing two hits and one run in seven innings. Tony Castillo and Roberto Hernandez finished off Drabek's impressive performance, with Hernandez collecting his fourth save. Angels manager Terry Collins managed Drabek in Houston the past three years and knows what makes the right-hander so tough. ``I've seen him pitch like this, a lot,'' Collins said. ``He throws nothing straight. He pitches in, he pitches away. He throws different pitches at different speeds, at any count.'' Springer (0-1), recalled Thursday from Vancouver and activated Friday, will get another starting assignment, according to Collins. Springer's knuckleball fluttered consistently out of the strike zone. He was hit hard, especially by Ray Durham, who went 3 for 3 with a home run.
