Brewers Rally Past Sox
The Sox squandered a late lead against the Brewers Friday night, dropping game one in Milwaukee 7-2. Starter Clayton Richard-- given two runs to work with in the fourth on Chris Getz's RBI single--pitched five scoreless innings before committing a throwing error in the sixth to put Milwaukee's leadoff man on base. The gaffe, in addition to his 102nd pitch, marked the end of Richard's night, as Ozzie Guillen handed the ball to reliever Octavio Dotel. Dotel allowed the inherited runner to come across, along with two more Crew members, as Milwaukee jumped ahead 3-2. D.J. Carrasco came in to pitch the seventh, but fared no better, surrendering four runs in just one-third of an inning. Aaron Poreda finally stopped the bleeding in his Major League debut, pitching the remainder of the contest with one hit and three K's to his name. On offense, Scott Podsednik led the charge with a 3-for-4 showing, and Richard made the most of the interleague opportunity by picking up his first career hit. Last night's loss was the ninth in the month of June for the Sox, who'll look to bounce back at 3:05 this afternoon.
