Garcia Goes Eight In Win

The much maligned Freddy Garcia got his stuff together tonight and allowed just one earned run over eight innings. He looked really shaky in the early innings, but he managed to stay afloat and started to dominate as the game wore on. He was pitching with a lead, which probably let him relax more and throw more strikes. This game might have been a big step for him this year.

As for the offense, they scored 9 runs to Cleveland's 1. Kevin Gregg has been dominant as a starter and reliever this year for the Angels, but he was not facing the Detroit Tigers again tonight. He faced the defending champions, and he found out what that was like. Jim Thome, Joe Crede, and Jermaine Dye all hit homeruns. Juan Uribe had 2 doubles and Scott Podsednik walked an amazing 4 times. Brian Anderson was the only White Sox regular to fail to record a hit, and his only positive moment was getting hit by a pitch. Other than that, the White Sox offense pounded the Angels.
