White Sox closer Bobby Jenks has acknowledged that a pitch thrown behind Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler on Saturday was intentional.

Chicago won 3-2, and Jenks said that he threw the pitch with purpose after Rangers starter Kevin Millwood hit Chris Getz and Carlos Quentin with pitches earlier.

"No, I meant to. To send a message," Jenks said, according to The Chicago Tribune. "Basically I was saying, 'I'm sick of seeing our guys get hit and hurt and almost get taken out of the game.' I threw it with intention."
