The Rangers have a pretty potent lineup. Going into this game, they were fourth in all of baseaball in runs scored, and they’re second in all of baseball in homeruns. But the Sox staff has held them to two runs in the last two games, including Mark Buehrle’s shutout with help performance yesterday afternoon. Buehrle improved to 7-1 on the season.

Paul Konerko hopefully hit himself out of his slump. He went three for four with his tenth homer of the season. The main concern were the three times the Sox were caught stealing. In a closer game, those kind of things come back to haunt you.

The Sox travel uptown to play the Cubs at Wrigley this weekend. The game on Saturday looks like it’s the first Fox Game of the Week, so that’s pretty cool. I’ll definitely have to watch that one.
