CHICAGO | A suddenly revived White Sox club showed the promise of "Ozzie ball" Wednesday with a perfect squeeze bunt, clutch hitting, sharp defense and John Danks' airtight pitching in a 4-1 victory at Wrigley Field.

At the same time, the only promise involving beleaguered Cubs manager Lou Piniella was he's nearing a lineup shakeup for his runs-starved team, which again failed miserably in the clutch.

"It's always fun to come here," said Sox leadoff man Scott Podsednik, executor of the seventh-inning squeeze. "It's electric and whether they're our fans or not, they really appreciate what you do."

Sox fans and manager Ozzie Guillen surely appreciated their team's fourth win in the last five games, kicked off by Alexei Ramirez's first-inning homer and Chris Getz's second-inning RBI triple, both off control-challenged Cubs starter Ryan Dempster (4-4).

Podsednik then pushed a perfect bunt toward the right side of the infield with Getz on third in the seventh. He beat the throw.

"Ozzie called it and you try to get it done," Podsednik said. "Ozzie likes that get 'em over (style), and get 'em in. And that's my style, too."

The small-ball would have gone for naught had Danks (5-5), who limited the Cubs to five hits and one run with no walks and nine strikeouts, been less efficient.

"He made his pitches and kept his emotions under control," Guillen said. "That's the best I've seen him look in some time."

Although Danks was superb, the Cubs hardly helped themselves by failing to score after leadoff runners reached first and second in the second inning, and first and third in the fourth. Then, after Aaron Miles led off the eighth with a double, chasing Danks, pinch-hitter Jake Fox's bid for an extra-base hit was foiled by Brian Anderson's leaping catch at the center-field wall.

Fuming amid the hitting flameouts, Piniella vowed changes will be forthcoming.

The Cubs have scored just 10 runs in their last six games.

"It's getting to the point where I'm going to have to make some tough decisions and get different people in the lineup," he said. "I've been real patient with it, but I tell you, it's getting to that point."

One change could involve left fielder Alfonso Soriano, who with another 0-for-4 is now 14-for-99 in his last 23 games, dropping to just .225.

"He has to do something, because we're doing nothing offensively," Soriano said of Piniella. "He's got to do something to try to make this team (get) going. We cannot win the game with four or five hits with one run."

Second baseman Ryan Theriot saw a silver lining.

"The good news, it can't get much worse," he said.
