The Chicago White sure did struggle on Wednesday night as they lost to the Detroit Tigers by the score of 5-1.  The White Sox have been playing some good baseball as of late, but Wednesday night was just one of those nights that nothing seemed to go right for them.

The White Sox were not even able to get into the Tigers bullpen where they really struggle.  Justin Verlander tossed a complete game against the Sox.  White Sox starter Javier Vazquez pitched six innings while giving up ten hits and five runs.  Vazquez just didn’t throw the ball that good.

The one run for the White Sox came in the fourth inning when A.J. Pierzynski singled in Orlando Cabrera.  The White Sox only had three other hits in the the game besides the rbi single by Pierzynski.  Hopefully it is just a one game funk and the White Sox will get back to swinging the bat better on Thursday afternoon as they play the Tigers once again.
