The White Sox were unable to rally tonight, unlike Tuesday night when they climbed back from a 3-0 defecit to beat the Mariners 6-3. Freddy Garcia picked up the win as A.J. Pierzynski knocked in two runs with a clutch hit in the top of the seventh, to put the Sox up 5-3.
Unfortunately the Sox couldn't repeat the magic Wednesday night, as they would never recover from a 4-0 deficit. Gavin Floyd struggled to get through three innings and gave up three runs in the three innings. He left after the third with what looked like a hip problem. Gordon Beckham was the only Sox player to cross the plate with his 12th home run of the season.
This loss puts the Sox 6.5 games back of the Tigers with just 16 games to play. The Sox haven't been mathematically eliminated, but they will be soon if they can't end their streak of alternating wins and loses, which is currently at nine. The Sox need to go on a winning streak, and it starts with John Danks on Thursday as he faces Brandon Morrow in the rubber match of the series.
Of note: Jake Peavy is scheduled to start this Saturday against the Royals.
