Pool B, Round 2
Chicago White Sox- 3, Toronto- 1 -- Juan Uribe hit a 3 run homer in the 7th to account for the 3 White Sox runs, and Gavin Floyd was sharp in 7 innings of work.
Oakland- 2, Seattle- 1 (12 innings) -- Oakland got a solo shot from Daric Barton in the bottom of the 2nd and made that hold up until the top of the 9th, when Miguel Cairo doubled home Ichiro after a throwing error by Donnie Murphy got Ichiro on base. Nobody could get anything going in extra innings until the bottom of the 12th. With 1 out, Mike Sweeney double, then Chris Denorfia singled. Sweeney could not come home on the single, but with 1 out and runners at second and third, Donnie Murphy atoned for his 9th inning error by hitting a deep fly ball to center. Ichiro had no chance to throw out Sweeney, and that ended the game on a walk off sac fly.
Chicago Cubs- 7, Detroit- 2 -- The Cubs got 6 of their runs in the second inning, as both Geovany Soto and Mike Fontenot homered in the inning. Detroit starter Jeremy Bonderman actually stayed in the game and pitched 4 1/3 innings before he was pulled, as he was sharp in the second and third innings. Soto added another solo homer in the 5th, and Cubs' starter Ryan Dempster, while he wasn't the sharpest, did get through 6 2/3 innings.
