White Sox 9, Mets 6
|
In Montreal, the White Sox defeated the Mets for their
7th straight win, retaining their first place position in the Atlantic Division.
It took six different Sox pitchers to get the job done. Eamonn McDonough got the
start and did not allow a run in 2 innings. Jim Lane, John Howe, Brian Houlding,
Nate Pane and Al Wiesner also got work on the hill. Ultimately, John Howe (2-0) notched
the win, tossing 2 innings of no-hit ball.
The Mets struck first in the 4th inning to take a 1-0 lead when Jason Joyce walked,
stole his 100th career base, and scored on a Kit Kadlec ROE. But the White Sox quickly
tied the score in the 5th inning when Luke Foskett reached, stole 2nd and scored
on a Jim Baldyga RBI single. The score was tied at 1-1 going into the 6th inning.
But the Sox scored 8 runs in the final 4 frames to walk away with their 2nd straight
win in Montreal dating back to 2002.
Offensively, 10 different White Sox recorded hits, including Dan Field (3 for 4)
and Brett Rudy (2 for 2). Mike McInnis also smashed a triple which was almost turned
into an inside-the-park HR, but he was nailed at the plate. Run production was led
by McInnis and Luke Foskett, each with a pair of RBI's. Behind the dish, Dan Field
also nailed his fifth would-be base-stealer in 5 games. Also of note, Jim Baldyga
not only was hit by a pitch for his 2nd straight year in Montreal, but he also picked
up a
stellar outfield assist while gunning out a Mets runner trying to stretch a single
into a double.
