Afternoon Box Score: Sox Blanked By Tribe

By Marcus Gilmer in News on May 13, 2009 9:00PM

Cleveland ace Cliff Lee - who's had a rough start to the year - had one of his best outings in the season and shut down the White Sox as Cleveland eased past the Sox 4-0. Sox ace Mark Buehrle gave up a solo homer in the first and a two-run shot in the fourth, plus another run in the fifth. He gave up all four runs over seven innings in which he struck out six. Meanwhile, the Sox bats were silent, mustering only seven hits. The Sox had the bases loaded with two outs in the sixth, but Jermaine Dye took a close strike three call; Dye's subsequent arguing earned him an early trip to the showers and even Ozzie got involved, also getting ejected. The Sox, now 15-18 on the year, get a day off tomorrow before heading north of the border for a weekend series with Toronto.
