Well, after losing a shutout last night coming into Baltimore after taking one from the Tigers, the Hose showed off their pitching tonight. Sox starter Workman went 6 2/3 and allowed just a lone single and one freebie for an awfully impressive game WHIP of 0.3 (and that's rounding up the fraction). The Sox had more hits, but could never, save the 3d inning, get anyone across the plate. However, their mound staff was nothing short of awesome! They started with Workman, then turned things over to the pen. First Miller closed out that remaining third of the 7th with a four pitch K. hen, in their usual order, Taz and Koji each threw a shutout inning punctuated by a pair of K's. Taz's was perfect, while Koji allowed a harmless single to start the inning and then slammed the door.
Offensively, the big hitters (and that's relatively speaking) for the Sox were Nap, who drove in the lone run, and Holt and Pierzynski, each getting a pair of hits. As Toronto lost, the Sox have climbed back to within nine of the Division lead, and added a game to their margin over the Rays as he guys from Tampa lost again.
