The Sox have lost to the Tigers in 9 innings. Jon Garland sadly took the loss (17-6) and now might decrease his Cy Young candadicy. Jeremy Bonderman pitched a great game, moving his record to 13-8. Magglio Ordonez, again, played a big role in tonights game, hitting another homer. Ivan Rodriguez also hit a home run. Juan Uribe & Tadahito Iguchi homered for the Sox. The Tigers are still leading the Central division over the Twins who beat the Red Sox tonight. The Sox are now only 10 games away from the end of the season. The Sox elimination number is now 6. So any combonation of 6 Sox losses and/or Twins wins will eliminate the Sox from playoff contention.
