08/21: Randy Pitches CG, but White Sox Win 6-2
Posted by: Patrick
Randy Johnson pitched an 8 inning complete game today and in 7 of those 8 innings, 0 runs were scored by the White Sox. Unfortunately, the other inning (the 4th inning) saw back to back to back solo home runs plus a 3 run shot for good measure and the Yankees lost 3-2.
There was not a walk issued in this game by either side, but the Yankees managed one more hit (11 in all) than the White Sox. Still, the runners just didn't come around as only 2 runs were scored by the Bombers. Jeter, Sheff (1 run), A-Rod and Womack (1 run) all had 2 hits with Cano (1 RBI), Matsui and Tino (1 RBI). The 6 (Bernie) and 8 (Flaherty and Posada) spots were the only ones to go hitless.
Boston won while Kansas City managed to win again in extras (2 game winning streak now for them), so we're 4 games back in the division and half a game back in the wild card standings. Jaret Wright (3-2, 7.62) will go against Scott Downs (1-2, 4.89) tomorrow as we start a 4 game set against Toronto.

Oh well, at least we didn't lose any ground. To all those Yankee haters out there saying it would take some kind of miracle by us or some kind of collapse by Boston or Oakland for us to get in the playoffs, we're a whopping 0.5 games out with only 40 left to play. :-)
