It didn’t take too long for this one to be over, and this is one of the major faults of this team. Not that many teams come back from a 7-0 deficit, but the Sox just don’t have the guns to put that many runs on the board to provide for the “big comeback.”

Fortunately, Guillen got six innings from Contreras as he calmed down after the second inning. His final line was eight hits, nine runs, and three walks. He gave up four homers and he threw 118 pitches. Six of the eight runs were scored in the second.

It was nice to see Frank Thomas go yard again. He has an impressive 1.233 OPS in his eighteen at bats. Hopefully he’ll be able to keep up a similar line through the rest of an injury free season. Juan Uribe also had two hits and he scored a run.
