*The Sox led this one 5-0 through four, thanks in large part to a solo homer by Alex Rios, and a three-run shot by Carlos Quentin.
*The Tigers finally got to Freddy Garcia for one run in the fifth, two in the sixth, and two more in the seventh. Tony Pena came in and allowed two more singles, making for six in the seventh inning overall.
*Scott Linebrink was hammered in the eighth, giving up four straight two-out hits.

*Jake Peavy survived a flurry of weak singles to throw seven scoreless innings, getting two double-play balls. He was late covering on a 3-6-1 double play, but made up for it by turning a 1-6-3 later on.
*Jermaine Dye made a great play on one of the only hard-hit balls of the night, crashing against the fence to take a double (or more) away from Curtis Granderson.
*Gordon Beckham broke up Eddie Bonine’s no-hitter and shutout with a two-run shot. It came with two outs and after a Brandon Inge error, so both runs were unearned.
*Matt Thornton walked Carlos Guillen with two outs, but was able to record his first save since Bobby Jenks went down for the year.

great start . rookie pitcher . shutout win
