What a game. The White Sox put five runs on the board in the first inning and they never looked back. It was 6-0 before the Red Sox finally got on the board with two runs in the fourth. The White Sox answered immediately with two in the bottom half of the inning, and eventually put 14 runs up.

In all, the White Sox hit five homers. A.J. Pierzynski blasted two homers and went three for three. Scott Podsednik, who didn’t hit a single homerun in the regular season, went yard in the sixth inning.

Jose Contreras was very solid. He went 7 2/3 and gave up only two runs on eight hits while striking out six. Game two tomorrow features David Wells against Mark Buehrle, and it’s on during prime time, which is nice. No need to kill the mouse button by hitting refresh while on the Yahoo box score at work.
