08/29: Mitre, Gaudin One-Hit White Sox as Yanks Win 10-0
Posted by: Andrew
Sergio Mitre carried a perfect game through 4 1/3 innings until Jim Thome doubled to right. Little did we know that would be the only hit the Chicago White Sox could garner, as they were shut out by the Yankees 10-0 Saturday afternoon.
Mitre pitched 6 1/3 innings and had to leave after being struck on the right forearm on a ball hit by A.J. PIerzynski. X-rays were negative. Chad Gaudin pitched the final 2 2/3 innings, striking out four.
New York got to starter Jose Contreras early and often. He allowed eight runs (six earned) on nine hits in only 3 1/3 innings. Johnny Damon, Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano and Jerry Hairston Jr. each had two RBI apiece, and Rodriguez hit the game's only home run - a solo shot - in the eighth inning.
The Yankees scored four runs in the second and fourth to give Mitre a big lead to work with. When Mitre was forced to leave the game in the seventh, he had only thrown 73 pitches.
The Yankees have held the White Sox to two runs over the first 19 innings of this series, winning both games. They will look to sweep them tomorrow afternoon, with Joba Chamberlain on the bump.
Recap records: Seamus: 36–22, Patrick: 35–16, Andrew: 10–10
