GAME #21 – Chicago (A) (M. Buehrle 3-0, 3.18 ERA) at Kansas City (M. Ford 1-1, 1.52 ERA)

Kansas City 6
W: M. Ford (2-1) L: M. Buehrle (3-1) S: J. Soria (4)
HR – KC: N. Garciaparra (3), E. Brown (1)
We got off to a good start in this one. Esteban German hit Buehrle’s first pitch of the game up the middle for a base hit. Emil Brown followed with a 2-run shot to center to give us the early lead. Teahen followed with a double down the first base line and advanced to third on a Betemit ground out to short. He then scored on a sac fly by Nomar to make it 3-0 good guys after 1.
The White Sox got 1 back in the second on an RBI single by Juan Uribe to score Joe Crede.
Things stayed the same until the 4th, when we got into some trouble. Thome and Crede led off the inning with back-to-back singles. Sweeney reached on a fielders choice at second and moved Thome to third. Uribe followed with a base hit to score Thome and move Sweeney to second and make it 3-2. Anderson hit a routine grounder to third, but Teahen booted it, making everyone safe. Pierzynski followed with another fielders choice at second, scoring Sweeney and moving Uribe to third, tying the game at 3. Pedro Lopez followed with a base hit to score Uribe and advance Pierzynski to second. Finally, Donny Lucy grounded out to third to end the inning with the Sox leading 4-3.
That lead didn’t last long, however. Nomar led off the bottom of the fourth with a first pitch shot to left center to tie it at 4. Spiezio followed with a single, and Hunter hit a double that advanced Spiezio to third. Millar popped out to short for the first out of the inning. Ross hit a base hit to center to score Spiezio and give us the lead. That’s all we could muster in the fourth, as German flew out to right, and Brown hit a grounder back to the mound.
We got our final run in the bottom of the fifth, when Nomar hit a two-out triple, and Spiezio brought him home. The Sox added a run in the seventh, but could never get that tying run across.
