Well, get holdin', as Danks and Massett now have as many wins as McCarthy.
Of course, it the Sox had to let the Cubs get back into the game, as much as being 4 down can be "in the game". Then again, with the meltdowns the bullpen had the previous two games, a 4-run lead sure didn't feel safe, especially when Bobby Jenks fell behind 3-0 to Pagan with one out and one on. Fortunately, Bobby was able to battle back, and then was backed up by an extremely nifty play by Iguchi to retire Soriano and end the game.
What really surprised me about that play is that the ball wasn't hit very hard, Iguchi had to go deep to get it and relay to Uribe who actually made the throw to first - a 4-6-3 putout. I fully expected Soriano to beat that out, considering his speed. They didn't really show any replays that showed it, but I wonder of Soriano was dogging it out of the box...
