From Joe Jackson to Frank Thomas, A Look at the Chicago White Sox, Both Past and Present
[powered by WordPress.]
In the first game of a two game trip to Minnesota, the Twins beat the Sox 3-1 behind stellar pitching by Boof Bonser. Bonser went seven innings and gave up six hits while striking out eight White Sox batters. Gavin Floyd pitched well for the Sox but it wasn’t enough to out duel Bonser. Floyd pitched for six innings giving up five hits and three earned runs. A.J. Pierzynski and Orlando Cabrera led the Sox with two hits each and Joe Crede had a solo home run for the only score of the game for the Sox. Crede’s home run was his seventh of the season and he now leads the AL in that category thus far in the year. The inconsistency of the Sox offense has led to much more losses for the team from the south side. They entered the game with an AL worst batting average of .242 but the South Side Sluggers have a league best 34 home runs. If the Sox can gain some consistency on offense, they will be a team to be reckoned with in the AL central.
