The Sox got back in the win column Tuesday, powered by Jim Thome's 2 home runs.
The 2 home runs pulled Thome within 1 of Mike Schmidt on the all time home run list with 547. Thome also did it in a ballpark he is very comfortable in, since he played in Cleveland for many years and hit the bulk of his dingers there.
If he stays relatively healthy this year and plays next season, he has a good shot at reaching 600 career home runs, and that could sway a lot of voters when he comes up for Hall of Fame balloting in about 2016.
