Sox' closer Jenks fined for 'purpose pitch'

White Sox closer Bobby Jenks was fined an undisclosed amount for throwing a pitch behind Texas infielder Ian Kinsler in a game on May 9.

Jenks has said that he's done throwing purpose pitches.

Jenks made the statement following his performance last weekend when he sailed a fastball behind Texas' Ian Kinsler. Jenks says he won't do it again and he wasn't trying to hit Kinsler.

Jenks later said the pitch was intentional because he was tired of watching White Sox hitters getting plunked with no retribution.

Jenks threw the pitch in question during the ninth inning of Chicago's 3-2 win Saturday.

Through six games between the teams this season, Texas pitchers hit six White Sox batters; Chicago pitchers nailed one Texas hitter.
