Carlos Quentin, A.J. Pierzynski, and Joe Crede were the only White Sox players to record a hit in the game.

John Danks pitched 6 1/3 innings while giving up seven hits and no runs.  Octavio Dotel took the loss as he pitched 2/3 of an inning and gave up the first run of the game in the eighth inning on a sac fly.  Matt Thornton then came into the game and gave up one more run on a single in the eighth inning.

One bad inning on the mound for Dotel and Thornton, combined with only three hits for the White Sox and you see why the Sox lost to the Angels.  White Sox Blog hopes the Sox can turn things around and get a win on Wednesday!

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.
