July 8, 2006 White Sox 13, Red Sox 5
| Not one of Josh Beckett's better starts, as he can't get out of the first inning while allowing 6 runs in the 13-5 shellacking. Podsednik led off with a double, Iguchi blasted a 2-run homer, a Thome double, Konerko single, and Dye with a double make the score 3-0 before even getting an out. I had a feeling right there that it wasn't going to be Beckett's game, but I figured it is way too early to take him out. Beckett settled down and got Pierzynski to ground out and Crede to fly out for two outs. Then, Mirabelli makes a passed ball to score a run, and Mackowiak doubles home another to make it 5-0. Beckett then walks three straight (Cintron, Podsednik and Iguchi) to score another run to make it 6-0. Now it is painfully obvious he can't get the last out, and he gets the hook. Tavarez comes in and gets Thome to fly out to end the inning. The lead reached 9-0 before the Sox finally started scoring, scoring single runs in the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th innings but it was way too late. Kevin Youkilis (back in the leadoff spot again due to Crisp's failure at the top and Youk's continued hot hitting) led the attack with a 3 for 5 day, and Ortiz adds homerun number 39 to his 2 for 4 day. |

Designated hitter Jim Thome homered and had 3 RBI at US Cellular Field where
the Chicago (AL) White Sox beat the Boston Red Sox by the score of 13 to
5.
Thome had a good day at the plate. He doubled in the 1st inning, laced a
base-knock plating two runs in the 3rd inning and lofted a solo-blast
'downtown' (his 27th of the season) in the 8th inning. Due to a poorly
pitched ballgame, scoring in 5 different innings was still not enough for
Boston to come away with the victory.
The winning pitcher was Freddy Garcia(11-3) who allowed 3 runs in 5 innings.
Josh Beckett(6-6) took the loss. He allowed 6 runs and 6 hits in 2/3 of an
inning.
