CHICAGO - Adam Dunn made it seem as if he had no trouble seeing through the dense fog. Dunn went 4 for 4 with two homers and five RBIs to overcome two home runs and five RBIs by Torontos Jose Bautista and give the Chicago White Sox a 10-6 victory in a game delayed over an hour because of limited visibility Monday night. "It was actually pretty tough," Dunn said about the fog. "It was probably a lot tougher for the outfielders. "It was worse than when it rains. With the lights, it made it really really bright. It was weird." Dunn hit a three-run home run off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (5-8) in the fourth inning after he hit a solo shot in the third. Dunn, who entered the game with a .165 batting average, hit home runs that were estimated at 444 and 441 feet. "I dont think Ive faced that many (knuckleballers)," Dunn said. "I think I faced Tim Wakefield a few times and a couple other guys. "If theyre right, theres nothing you can do about it," he said. "Hopefully the make a mistake and tonight he made a few." The game was played from the second inning on in fog which became so thick in the third inning that fly balls became an adventure. Umpires stopped play in the third for 1 hour, 10 minutes and the fog continued to varying degrees even after the break. "It wasnt being called," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said after his teams third straight win. "Its just you cant predict. Its not like rain. "It would clear up and all the sudden you couldnt see an outfielder. Very odd," Ventura added. "It was probably worse on the outfielders because they couldnt really see when it was coming off the bat." Like Dunn, Bautista made it simple for the outfielders by simply sending it well over their heads. Bautista matched a career high with five RBIs and his first-pitch, first-inning home run with Melky Cabrera on first base gave Toronto a 2-0 lead. Dunns homers gave him his 36th career multihomer game and he matched a career high with four hits. He helped the White Sox score 10 runs in a game for the first time this season. Dylan Axelrod allowed Bautistas two-run shot in the first inning and three-run drive in the fourth, as well as a solo shot by Colby Rasmus in the fifth. Axelrod lasted four innings and gave up eight hits, six runs and four walks. At least on the home runs he gave up, Axelrod said he didnt mind the fog. "I didnt see all those home runs go out," he said. "So thats cool." Dickey went five innings and allowed seven runs, 10 hits and a walk. "Unfortunately the knuckleball is tough sometimes," Dickey said. "When it doesnt break, it can just sit there on a tee for guys like Adam Dunn to hit it out of the park, and thats what he did." Addison Reed pitched the ninth after Jesse Crain pitched out of an eighth-inning jam as the White Sox bullpen threw five scoreless innings. Crain has thrown 25 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings. "You get that lead and you start mixing and matching with guys," Ventura said. "Jesse again coming in in the situation that hes been coming in, hes been big." Reliever Nathan Jones (2-4) got the victory. Trailing 2-0, the White Sox rebounded with a five-hit, three-run second inning against Dickey, capped by Alejandro De Azas two-run, two-out single. The White Sox loaded the bases with singles by Dunn, Jeff Keppinger and Gordon Beckham. A sacrifice fly by Hector Gimenez made it 2-1, then De Aza singled to centre to score Keppinger and Beckham. Dunn made it 4-2 with his solo home run in the third prior to the delay. Then Bautista made it 5-4 for Toronto with his three-run homer in the fourth. Dunns second homer made it 7-5 before Rasmus shot made it 7-6. The White Sox added three runs in the eighth inning helped by two errors by the Blue Jays. Beckham led off with a single and went to third on an error by Edwin Encarnacion. With one out, he scored on an error by Emilio Bonifacio. Paul Konerko and Dunn added RBI singles later in the inning. NOTES: Former White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle returned with the Blue Jays to Chicago for the first time this season. Buehrle will not face the team he pitched 12 seasons for in this series. He is 2-4 with a 5.06 ERA and one of the wins came in Toronto against Chicago. Buehrle called it a weird feeling when he had to walk past the White Sox locker room. He was honoured with a standing ovation and a video tribute in the first inning. ... Blue Jays manager John Gibbons missed the game due to his sons high school graduation.

Jackson hit his second career home run in the seventh inning on his way to his first win in seven starts since July 31. The Reds — who went into the game third in the NL Central, two games behind first-place St. Louis — saw their streak of consecutive scoreless innings reach 15 since a walkoff win over Los Angeles on Sunday. Then Zack Cozart and pinch-hitter Corky Miller hit consecutive doubles with one out in the seventh. Jackson (8-15) allowed nine hits and one run with four strikeouts in seven innings. The Cubs earned consecutive wins over Cincinnati for the first time since 2011, when they won on Sept. 7 in Chicago and Sept. 12 in Cincinnati — a span of 36 games.

He had been sidelined since August 25 with a lower back strain. Junior Lake led off the second with a double, giving him a seven-game hitting streak and his fourth streak of seven or more games since he was called up from Triple-A Iowa on July 19. Castillo followed one out later with a 470-foot homer into the upper deck in left field on a full-count pitch. Castillos fifth homer of the season was his first since Aug. 10. Cingrani (7-4) left the game one out later.dddddddddddd Murphy added his 377-foot, two-run homer down the left field line on the first pitch he saw from Greg Reynolds in the third inning.

Barney drove in Jackson with a sacrifice fly in the fourth and Murphy added an RBI double in the sixth before Castillo hit his second homer in the seventh — the second multi-homer game of his career. NOTES: The Cubs will use a six-man rotation for the 12-game stretch that started on Monday, allowing RHP Scott Baker to get two more starts as he continues his comeback from Tommy John surgery. They will go back to a five-man rotation for the remaining eight games. "Everybody will get their same amount of starts," manager Dale Sveum said. "Everybody will just get a little bit extra rest. It works out where (LHP Travis) Wood and (RHP Jeff) Samardzija will pitch against the Cardinals (in the seasons last series)." ... Reds LHP Sean Marshall said he felt good after throwing 23 pitches off the mound to live batters in simulated game action before Tuesdays game. Marshall has been on the disabled list since May 24 with shoulder tendinitis. ... Reds RHP Johnny Cueto is scheduled to throw about 45 pitches in another set of simulated innings before Wednesdays game.
