CHICAGO -- With Mark Buehrle on the mound the Sox succeeded in doing something before the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals. And that is: Win a game. Though Grady Sizemore lead off the game with a homer... again... Buehrle did well!
Until the second inning when Ryan Garko hit a liner that went straight towards Buehrle's pitching hand and nailed him. Mark then went hopping off the mound in pain as he left the game with a hand injury. More news to come.
We did, however, pull off a win in the most unusual way I have ever seen... or... heard.
The bases are loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning after 3 straight walks by Roberto Hernandez of the Indians, with the score tied at 3 a piece. A.J. Pierzynski is batting and he gits hit by a pitch! A walk off HBP! I've never heard of that!
[Visiting The Central]
Minnesota - 3W, 0L
Cleveland -- 2W, 1L
Detroit ----- 1W, 1L
Chicago -- 1W, 2L
Kansas City 1W, 2L
Look at that! We're tied for last with Kansas City! The high school team!
We can still make a run for first in our upcoming series with the Twins, if we can pull off a sweep. Think it could happen?
Well lets put it this way: Johan Santana doesn't pitch until Sunday against Contreras. Francisco Liriano is injured so we don't have to worry about him. If Vazquez can get a win tomorrow against Silva, and by some miracle Contreras beats Santana we could be tied for first by Monday!
