'13-10

L 9-4

Even when he was on the Sox, I didn't really like Nick Swisher. I think he was less entertaining and more annoying than he realized. So now that he's off the Sox, I definitely dislike him. Especially since he's killing them. Sure, he wasn't responsible for the grand slam that really put the game away, but his home run in the first didn't help. So the Sox dropped their fifth straight and seem to be spiraling out of control. When your ace gives up 8 runs through 4.1 innings, you're in trouble. The Sox'll look to Jake Peavy tomorrow to try to avoid being swept in the second straight series.

Stat of the Day: You don't have to go too far back to find the last time the Sox were on a five game losing streak. It happened during the collapse at the end of last year, from 9/19-9/23. The Sox lost two to the Royals and three to the Angels. That was part of the 2-10 stretch the helped end their playoff hopes.

Record: 4-7
