This was tough one to take. Jon Garland gave up three quick runs then was awesome the rest of the way.  By the time he left the game after eight innings, the White Sox had 5-3 lead and it was looking like a sweep.  Then with two outs, David Aardsma gave up a two run homerun that sent the game into extra frames and then Boone Logan gave up an RBI single to Placido Polanco that ended the game in a 6-5 loss.

Garland gave up just the three first inning runs and in eight innings, he gave up five hits and a walk.  Darin Erstad finished with three hits and an RBI and Joe Crede homered, drove in two runs and drew two walks.  It was Crede’s first homerun of the year and hopefully the solid game means he’s hitting out of his slump.

Next up is a two game series against the Royals.  It’d be nice to just take these two games before the Tigers roll into town for two more games.
