Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Carlos Quentin had his first career three home run game, knocking in five to lead Chicago past Texas, 8-6, and take the middle portion of a three-game series. The game was delayed 2:58 by inclement weather between the top and bottom of the fourth inning. Tony Pena (1-1) earned the win despite allowing two runs on three hits in one full inning of relief. It was Chicagos sixth win in the last eight games. Brett Tomko (0-1) suffered the loss by allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in two innings of work as the Rangers had their two-game win streak halted. Jake Peavy allowed two runs on five hits and a walk in three innings for Chicago, and Derek Holland allowed four runs on four hits and a walk in four innings for Texas. Quentin hit a solo shot in the first to give Chicago a quick one-run lead. The lead didnt last long, as Ian Kinsler worked a walk to lead off the bottom half of the inning -- Peavys first allowed walk of the year -- moved to second on a groundout by Elvis Andrus and came home on a Josh Hamilton single to knot the game at one. Brent Morel was hit by a pitch to lead off the third and Juan Pierre followed with a bunt single. Two-batters later, Quentin hit his second homer in as many at-bats to give Chicago a 4-1 lead. Texas answered back in the bottom half of the inning with a sacrifice fly by Michael Young to score Andrus. The Rangers tied the game at four in the fifth inning on an RBI double by Andrus and a sacrifice fly by Young. The back-and-forth continued when Adam Dunn led off the sixth with a bomb into the upper deck in right field. Morel then knocked in Alex Rios four batters later to put the White Sox up by two. Texas made it a one-run game in the bottom of the sixth on a base-hit by Mitch Moreland that plated Yorvit Torrealba. Chicago increased their lead to two again in the seventh when Rios hit a two- out double that brought home Paul Konerko and made the score 7-5. Texas put men on the corners with no outs in the eighth and Andrus grounded into a run-scoring double-play that put the Rangers within a run again. Hamilton then hit an infield single before Sergio Santos entered the game for the White Sox. Hamilton stole second and also swiped third during a walk by Young, but Adrian Beltre lined out to right to end the inning. Quentin went deep for a third time in the ninth to give him his first career three home run game. Santos came back to pitch the ninth and threw a 1-2-3 inning to end the game and earn the four-out save, his seventh of the season. GAME NOTES:With his seventh steal of the season, Pierre tied Herman Long for 29th all- time with 534...Both teams combined to use 13 pitchers...Quentin is the first White Sox player to hit three home runs in a game since Konerko did it on July 7, 2009.

Curling officials will apply to add mixed doubles to the Olympic program in time for the Pyeongchang Games in South Korea in 2018. Since returning to the Olympics in 1998, two curling events have been contested at each games -- the mens and womens competitions. The World Curling Federation made a tentative bid in 2005 to include mixed doubles on the Olympic program for the 2010 Vancouver Games, but it was rejected because the discipline hadnt spread globally. However, WCF president Kate Caithness said "mixed doubles is part of our sport that has taken off around the world," with the governing body spending the last eight years developing the spread to meet the technical requirements for Olympic admission. The application will bee made after next years Sochi Games and decision will be reached by the IOC in 2015.dddddddddddd If it is accepted, mixed doubles would be a 16-team competition. "It would allow other countries who wouldnt perhaps have the chance of going to the Olympics with a full mens team and full womens team to take part in the Olympics," Caithness told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "We have mixed doubles in world championships so we have done our homework. Hopefully it will appeal to the IOC." Caithness said the discipline would fit "in the same venue, in the same timeframe and with the same officials" as the mens and womens events. Hungary is the current world champion in mixed doubles.
