'13-8

L 7-4

I was really hoping the Sox wouldn't get swept this series. At no point during any of these three games did I think the Sox would come out with a win. Now they're below .500 as they head to Cleveland for the weekend. It'd be nice to bounce back with a series win, and against the Tribe I think it's certainly reasonable. Anyway, tonight's game was pretty much more of the same. The pitching couldn't really keep the offense in the game. The Sox were able to get some hits against Dan Haren, but they just couldn't muster up enough runs. Tonight was another frustrating time where the Sox outhit their opponent, but lost. And this time, they lost by 3 runs. Yikes!

On the plus side, Alex Rios had another good night (even if he got out in the 9th). He's off to a great start this season. Gillaspie also continued to impress in Beckham's absense. Beckham, by the way, is out for 6 weeks with a broken wrist. Again, I can't really complain about the hitting tonight. The Sox just need to get those clutch hits to really inflict some damage.

Stat of the Day: Dylan Axelrod got his first career hit tonight!
Stat of the Day #2: The White Sox are 29th out of 30 in batting average with runners in scoring position at .133. Only the Angels are worse, at .120. That's right. Even the Marlins are better.

Record: 4-5.
