'13-26

W 3-1

For how much I've ripped the Sox's relief pitching the last few days, I must applaud them after last night's performance. 3.2 innings of one-hit ball... not too shabby, although the 5 walks is still an issue. Still, they were able to hold a 2-run lead for 4 innings in Texas, which is not easy to do.

I don't like that the Sox would have been shut out if not for one Tyler Flowers home run, but baseball can be sensitive like that. One little thing can have a major impact, and it did last night.

I've got some potentially awful news regarding Gavin Floyd, which I also shared on Five Things. Looks like he could be out for a long time. If that's true, I think the Sox are going to need John Danks to come back rather soon. Santiago was pretty good last night, but I'm not sure if he's a long-term starter.

Stat of the Day: Addison Reed got his 10th save last night. That puts him one behind the leaders in that category. Also, he has saved 10 of the 12 White Sox wins.

Record: 12-15
