Highlights
The time of game for this 12:05PM travel day contest was significantly shorter than the last one at 2 hours and 55 minutes but it seemed intolerably longer at times since it was Indians “Metal” Lunchbox give away day and fully 25% of the 29,822 fans were summer campers who found that they made formidable drums. The game looked to be a pretty good pitching match-up on paper with Jake Westbrook going for the home team and Mark Buehrle countering for the Sox. Buehrle kept his part of the deal sort of as he scattered 10 hits thru 6 1/3 innings while allowing only Franklin Gutierrez who led off the 7th to score what would prove to be the Indians only run. Matt Thornton came on to finish off the 7th and Charlie Haeger pitched 1 hit relief for the 8th & 9th. Westbrook got into trouble in the first inning when he surrendered a run off a pair of singles & a walk to the first three hitters and it could have been worse had not clean-up hitter Paul Konerko hit into a 3-6-1 double play. Westbrook then retired Rob Mackowiak on a grounder to short to get out of the inning. He pitched to the minimum batters in the 2nd & 3rd but gave up a single to former Indian Jim Thome to start the 4th. Konerko followed with a blast to deep center to make it 3-1 and the Sox never looked back.
