TRADE RUMOR
There are rumors that the Dodgers are looking to trade 36-year-old pitcher Shawn Estes. He is currently playing for their AAA team in Albuquerque.
Game #23 – Chicago (A) White Sox [11-11] (J. Danks 3-1, 2.37 ERA) at Texas Rangers [7-15] (M. Harrison 0-2, 8.84 ERA)
Chicago (A) lineup: SS Lillibridge – 2B Getz – 1B Konerko – DH Thome – 3B Fields – LF Anderson – CF Wise – RF Broussard – C Miller
Texas lineup: 3B Young – LF Hamilton – 2B Kinsler – DH Cruz – 1B Davis – CF Jones – RF Byrd – C Teagarden – SS Duran
Chicago (A) 5
Texas 3 (13)
W: O. Dotel (2-1) L: E. Guardado (0-3)
HR – CHA: J. Thome (7), B. Anderson (3), G. Beckham (2) TEX: N. Cruz (4)
What a game. We had a 3-0 lead after 4 and looked to be cruising. However, Texas added runs in the sixth, seventh, and eighth to tie the game. Beckham pinch-ran for Thome in the eighth, but when we didn't score and went into extras, he had to stay in the game. It's a good thing, though, because he turned out to be the star of the game with a 2-run shot off Guardado in the top of the thirteenth to give us the win. Danks was decent, going 8 innings, giving up the 3 runs on 7 hits and 4 walks, and he struck out 8.
