Orioles 3 Sox 5

The Sox overcame a 3 run deficit to come back and win last nights ballgame 5-3. Konerko had a huge 2RBI single with the bases loaded in the 7th to give the Sox the lead. The Sox did not rely on power to score last night, as they scored all thier runs without a homer. They scrapped their way to the win in this one by stringing a couple hits together in the 5th and 6th, scoring a run in each before rallying in the 7th for 3 more, with a little help from the Oriole defense. Buehrle had only one bad inning, the 4th, when with 2 out the Orioles strung a few hits together to score all 3 of their runs. Aside from that inning, Buehrle was great, retiring his last 13 batters in a row. Hermy came on to record the save with a 1-2-3 9th, throwing I believe 8 pitches, and 6 were for strikes. He still has yet to allow a run.

Saturday's matchup: Cabrera 2-2 4.50 vs. Garcia 3-2 3.21
Garcia will try and prevent himself from becoming the first Sox starter to lose in consecutive starts this season.

Elsewhere in MLB: Minnesota lost 9-6 to Texas in 11 innings last night, falling 6 games behind the SouthSiders.
