The White Sox are now 3-9 this spring, near the bottom of the Cactus League. They dropped their game against the Angels this afternoon and once again they had a hard time getting hits, much less putting runs on the board. It’s the fifth time this spring they’ve scored two runs or less and today it was against rookie Jared weaver.
Mark Buehrle had a great game. He went five innings and gave up only four hits. He was replaced with Dustin Hermanson, who proceeded to give up three runs in the sixth. Tim Redding was also hit hard and gave up three runs in his one inning. The Sox take on Oakland tomorrow, although Frank Thomas isn’t scheduled to play.
Ryan Sweeney and non-roster invitee Josh Fields lead the team with three home runs. Fields is having a particularly good spring and five of his six hits (in 13 at bats) have been for extra bases. He also leads the team with six RBIs. Sweeney’s hitting .421 with an .895 slugging (in 19 at bats) and he’s tied with Jerry Owens with five runs.
Black Sox Blog favorite Joe Crede is having a pretty rough spring. In seventeen at bats, he has two hits and he’s driven in only one run.
