Starting Pitchers
Ricky Nolasco (FLA) vs. Mark Buehrle (CWS)
Game Recap
Florida- 10, Chicago White Sox- 4 -- Mark Buehrle was anything but sharp in this one, as he lasted just 4 innings and gave up 6 runs. The big damage was done in the 1st inning, when the Marlins sent 10 men to the plate and got 4 runs. The White Sox tried to fight back, getting back to back homers from Adam Dunn and Carlos Quentin in the bottom of the 5th, but Florida added 1 in the 6th and 2 in the 7th to put it away. A wild one for special results, as Paul Konerko of the White Sox was caught with an illegal bat and ejected in the first inning. Also, Juan Pierre was injured in the top of the 5th running down a fly ball, and for Florida, Gaby Sanchez was injured in the bottom of the 5th. All 3 players will miss the next game for their teams.
