Thanks to the
two-hour wait at the border, I missed all but 1 1/2 innings of this game. Buehrle gave up six runs, three homers and balked in a run. Sox hitters struck out 10 times, and the 7-8-9-1 hitters went 0-for-14.
I saw Jim Thome's 34th homer, and Joe Crede returned to the lineup after tweaking his back and had a two-out RBI single. Brandon McCarthy at least spared the bullpen with 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Sandy Alomar started, and probably shouldn't have. That's about all I know of this game.
