Game 55: White 10 Red 7

That was disappointing. Lady Luck finally left Aceves' side as he gives up 8 runs (6 earned) on 8 hits and 3 BBs over 5 innings. Lowrie didn't help the cause by booting a ball in the 4-run 2nd inning to extend the inning. Atchison coughed up two more runs in the 6th. Jenks was activated off the DL list and wiggled his way out of the 8th inning. Wheeler pitched the 9th and has actually looked pretty good since he's come off the DL (4 2/3 inning, 0 runs, 3 hits, 4 Ks, and 2 BBs).

Sox batters made Philip Humber look like a Cy Young award winner eeking out only 1 run over 7 innings on 6 hits and 1 walk. The replacements came in after the 6th and finally put some runs on the board. Reddick and Sutton were key to the 6 runs the Sox scored in the 8th and 9th. Also key was Big Papi's 12th home run of the year, a 3-run shot in the 8th. Gonzalez had a tough day with three Ks including one to end the game with the tying run on deck.

Can't win them all but the White Sox are a team we should be beating. Hopefully Wakefield can right the boat.
