A day after rookie Carlos Torres went seven scoreless innings to get the win against the Cubs, the White Sox collected twenty hits and scored twelve runs to beat the Red Sox. It was a hit parade for the White Sox as every started collected at least one hit. However Freddy Garcia tried to steal the show by going six strong innings, giving up only one run. White Sox fans also got a first peak at September call ups Daniel Hudson and Jhonny Nunez. Both relievers looked good, especially Hudson who went two shutout innings against the AL wildcard leaders.
This win marked the third win in a row for the White Sox, keeping them alive in the hunt for the playoffs, but barely. If the Sox are going to make the playoffs they will need some help. The Detroit Tigers will need to go 14-14 (or worse) on their last 28 games, with the Sox going 20-6 (or better) for their last 26. As an optimist, I still believe the Sox have a chance, but the only thing they can do is win and then hope.
Of note: Jim Thome had a clutch RBI single in his first at bat with the Dodgers.
