Bullpen Battle
Neither Clay Buchholz nor Gavin Floyd pitched well today as both starters give up five earned runs. Floyd, however, lasts 5 1/3 innings, two more than Buchholz. With fewer innings to cover, the White Sox bullpen doesn't allow a hit, while the first reliever in for the Red Sox, David Ardsma is charged with the game winning run. The Red Sox fall to the White Sox 6-5. Boston falls to 27-35 on the road.
The White Sox move into a temporary tie with the Twins. Minnesota is tied with Kansas City in the 11th.

Buchholz was pitching better before he went down. Good hitters are jumping all over his fastball and not letting him get ahead so he can throw the curve and change. They can't really afford to have him go out and get racked every time out.
