8/23 Ugly Win

Last night, the White Sox defeated the Tigers by a score of 7-5. Unfortunately, the starting pitching and offensive execution did not improve. Freddy Garcia allowed 5 earned runs on one walk and seven hits in just 5.1 innings of work. The Sox left 10 runners on base, and Juan Uribe failed to get a bunt down. It was typical White Sox BS.

Fortunately for the Sox, Detroit did not fail any better. Zach Miner lasted just 1.1 innings and gave up 6 earned runs. Paul Konerko and Joe Crede each tagged Detroit pitching for three hits, and Crede had two homeruns giving him 27 for the season. Jermaine Dye spotted Garcia a 3-0 lead with homerun number 35 in the first inning.
