For the second time in his career, Gavin Floyd nearly tossed a no hitter.  Floyd pitched 8 1/3 innings and only gave up one hit which came in the ninth inning with one out.  Joe Mauer hit a double to break up the no hit bid.

Floyd still picked up the win and improved to 3-1 on the season.  Bobby Jenks came into the game to get the last two outs and didn’t have any problems with that.  It was funny watching Ozzie Guillen get booed as walked out to the mound to take Floyd out of the game.  But those booes quickly turned to screaming for Floyd as he exited the game.

Jermaine Dye connected for a solo home run in the sixth inning for the White Sox.  Dye also had a RBI in the first inning as he had two total RBI in the game.  Carlos Quentin also had two RBI and Joe Crede and Juan Uribe both had one RBI.

The White Sox are now 15-16 on the season as they look to make a run to get over the .500 mark.

The Chicago White Sox only managed four hits against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night as they lost 1-0.  Matt Stairs hit a home run in the seventh inning off of Javier Vazquez for the lone run in the game.  I wonder how Ozzie is going to react to the media after his blowup this morning and then losing a close game like this lol.

Vasquez did toss 7 2/3 inning in the game while giving up the one run.  He did allow eight hits while striking out nine batters.  One mistake cost Vasquez and the White Sox tonight.

Juan Uribe had two of the White Sox hits in the game while Jim Thome and Toby Hall both had one hit each.  Bad performance by the White Sox hitters in the game.  Maybe it is time to take some extra batting practice or something…  They did mount a little rally in the ninth inning as they walked three times but struggled once again as they couldn’t push across one run to tie the game.
