Sox Lose In Extras
The Sox were on the losing end of a walk-off win by the Orioles, falling 2-1 in 10 innings. A Gordon Beckham solo homer tied the game at 1-1 in the third but it was the Orioles came through with a run in the bottom of the 10th to walk off with the win. John Danks had a strong six-inning outing in which he gave up just one run and the bullpen held until Tony Pena gave up the game-winner in the 10th. The Sox try to rebound later tonight (6:05 p.m., WGN).

Reds Shutout Cubs
The Cubs had another anemic offensive outing as the Reds eased past the Cubs 3-0. Tom Gorzelanny wasn't bad on the mound, giving up three runs over seven innings, but the offense did little to help him, going 0-for-6 with men in scoring position. The Cubs have lost eight of their last nine games, Randy Wells takes the hill in hopes of reversing a putrid run for the Cubs this afternoon (12:05 p.m., CSN).
