Andy Dirks had a two-run homer and a two-run single off the bench in Sunday's rout of the White Sox. Dirks didn't start against left-hander Mark Buehrle, but he pounded the ball when he got his chance. He'll compete with Magglio Ordonez for at-bats against right-handers for the rest of the month. Ordonez figures to play against every lefty.
