I only caught about two innings of this game, here are the fact. Feel free to elaborate on the nuances:
*Javier Vazquez lasted seven innings, but they weren't particularly good: 11 hits, two walks, two homers, only three strikeouts.
*Jermaine Dye had another strong ballgame, doubling, homering and drawing a walk.
*Juan Uribe, who, in his last two games, hit two doubles and drew two walks, had one apiece.
*Dye and A.J. Pierzynski hit solo homers, which was the only offense the Sox could muster against Zach Miner.
*Jim Thome flipped an opposite-field single to left with the bases loaded in the eighth to make it a ballgame.
*Fernando Rodney struck out the side to end the ninth, and Nick Swisher, Alexei Ramirez and Uribe all swung at ball four.
