Nick Blackburn recorded his last victory on July 10 against the White Sox.
Since then: 38 1/3 IP, 66 H, 38 R 10 HR, 9 BB, 14 K.
Tonight: 7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 7 K.
That’s all that needs to be said about the White Sox offense.
Gavin Floyd pitched well, too, but one bad half-inning killed him. With two outs, he ran into the left-handed buzzsaw of Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau and Jason Kubel. Mauer cranked a homer, Morneau singled, and Jason Kubel drilled a low fastball over the right-center fence for a 3-0 lead.
Otherwise, it was another quality start that went unsupported.
Record: 64-68 | Box score | Play-by-play
