Garcia Masterful
For the second straight start, Freddy Garcia was unhittable tonight. He allowed just 1 hit in 8 innings, giving him 2 hits allowed in his last 27 innings. That is not bad.
The offense chipped in 7 runs. Jim Thome and Jermaine Dye hit homeruns numbered 41 and 43 respectively, but the highlight of the night came in the fourth inning. Justin Verlander hit Dye and walked Thome to lead off the inning. With a no-hitter going, Verlander left a pitch up and away to Paul Konerko. Konerko took him to left field loading the bases.
Then, with a 2-2 count, Verlander pitched AJ Pierzynski in the same way that the Tigers have been pitching him all season. He tried to get him to chase a curveball in the dirt. However, AJ was looking for it. He golfed a low curveball over the wall for a 4-0 White Sox lead.
In relief, Bobby Jenks allowed 1 hit and 0 runs in 1 inning of work. The White Sox elimination number is currently at 7 behind the Tigers and 8 behind the Twins. There are 11 games left in the season.
