The Morning After: Rays Best Sox

    

The White Sox struggled to get the offense going as they fell last night to the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1. Starting pitcher Gavin Floyd was effective, allowing three runs while striking out five over seven innings of work. But the Sox offense could never get going and reliever Scott Linebrink gave up two more runs in the bottom of the eighth, giving the Rays a bigger cushion. The Sox only managed three hits off of Tampa Bay starter Jeff Niemann, their one run coming on a Mark Teahen homer in the eighth. Ozzie Guillen lamented his team's inability to get the offense going, saying, "When we hit, our momentum is very different. When we score some runs, there's more excitement in the dugout, more good things happen. When we're shut down, we're just flat." Speaking of Guillen, MLB is investigating Wednesday's shenanigans in which both Mark Buehrle and Guillen were tossed for arguing with an umpire over several balk calls. But, for now, the Sox will focus on their weekend series with the Rays which picks back up tonight (6:10 p.m., CSN). more ›
