Facing a lineup with four rookies and a bust of a prospect, Freddy Garcia enjoyed the equivalent of a rehab start. Although he still sought his 12th win by the end of it, he passed the test. Garcia threw six innings of one-run ball, allowing one run on four hits and two walks, and pitching [...]
August 30: White Sox 10, Indians 6 (11 innings)
I thought this moment on the broadcast, captured while Brent Lillibridge trotted around the bases after his go-ahead solo shot with two outs in the 11th inning, summed up the events quite nicely: You have two kinds of Cleveland fans in the picture. One is devastated, and who could blame her? The Indians climbed back [...]
August 26: White Sox 8, Orioles 0
Man, Edwin Jackson should throw more than seven pitches. Pitching for the first time since the monsoon in Kansas City, Jackson dominated the Orioles for eight innings, giving the Sox their first series win in six sets. Jackson struck out 10 hitters, cracking double-digits in back-to-back starts for the first time in his career. And [...]
August 21: White Sox 7, Royals 6 (Game 2, 10 innings)
J.J. Putz was one out away from recording the kind of drama-free save the Sox desperately needed. A triple another Yuniesky Betancourt single later, the Sox were locked in another extra-innings game in this Doubleheader from Hell. This one ended better, thanks to Juan Pierre atoning for earlier sins. Pierre was a big reason why [...]
August 11: White Sox 6, Twins 1
The Twins never beat themselves, except when they do. And when that happens, it’s pretty damn sweet. Glen Perkins looked like a Triple-A pitcher, Michael Cuddyer showed his inexperience at first, and John Danks was too much for everybody as the Sox picked up a much-needed win. Denard Span started the game by doubling off [...]
August 10: Twins 12, White Sox 6
The first batter Freddy Garcia faced, Denard Span, lined a rocket into Paul Konerko’s glove. That was the extent of Garcia’s luck. Once again, Garcia had bad location against the Twins, and this time he paid for it. He allowed more homers (three) than he completed innings (2 1/3), giving up six runs in the [...]
August 3: White Sox 12, Tigers 2 (Game 1)
Mark Buehrle gave the Sox exactly what they needed in a game that wasn’t only the first of a four-game set, but the first of a doubleheader as well. He threw 7 2/3 efficient innings while getting plenty of offensive support en route to his 10th win of the season. He gave up seven hits, [...]
July 28: White Sox 6, Mariners 5
Power brought the White Sox back, and power closed this game out. As a result, the White Sox won their third straight game, and one they probably shouldn’t have been in considering the way it started. Seattle scored all five of its runs over the first two innings. Mark Buehrle had some bad luck (Franklin [...]
July 20: White Sox 4, Mariners 0
Another night in Seattle, another pretty smooth victory. This time, John Danks shut the Mariners down while the offense picked away at Doug Fister as the the White Sox extended their lead to 3 1/2 games. Danks was dominant. Only one runner reached scoring position, and Danks ended that threat with a double play. And [...]
July 19: White Sox 6, Mariners 1
Tonight proved to be quite the palate-cleanser for Daniel Hudson, Alex Rios and the rest of the White Sox, brushing themselves off after the debacle in Minnesota for a convincing victory to open up a West Coast swing. Rios drove in three runs, tying the game with a sac fly after Hudson fell into a [...]
