Mark Buehrle pitched the equivalent of a complete game last night, giving up only four hits in nine innings. The Sox did their best to blow the strong outing, but a Carl Everett solo shot in the first was good enough to put this one into extra frames. Then in the eleventh, Iguchi doubled to drive in the winning run.

Equally impressive was Damasco Marte. He threw two perfect innings to improve to 3-3.

Unfortunately the Sox just can’t shake the Twins, who also won yesterday. Lead is still at five games, but it just seems like they’re waiting for the Sox to falter so they can pounce all over us. The last few years that’s come after the All-Star Break so we’ll see what happens.
