This difference being the wrong way! Dice was on the mound and actually pitched reasonably well, but he gave up just enough, combined with minimal Sox offense, to allow the Rangers to take the rubber game of the series. The Sox only had six hits, three of which were for extra bases, but without many runners at the time. Result when that happens is usually a loss, and that's what happened today in 103 degree Texas summer heat.
The Diceman did have a notable accomplishment. He became the second fastest Sox pitcher since 1920 to 500 K's in a career. Only one faster was Roger Clemens. Dice got his in his 91st Sox game, while The Rocket hit the mark in his 79th. In fact, since 1995 only two pitchers have gotten there quicker in MLB. Congrats, Dice!
