Afternoon Box Score: Twin Cities Liturgy
By Chuck Sudo in News on Jun 16, 2011 7:40PM
As White Sox fans, we're at the point where we feel bringing white flags of surrender may be a better option than having to watch a pitching gem by Mark Buehrle get wasted like this. Buehrle's only mistake in seven innings of work was a solo home run to Michael Cuddyer. But with the South Siders' feast-or-famine offense, that was enough for the Twins to take their fourth straight game against the White Sox this season. The Sox were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and stranded nine runners.
Nick Blackburn pitched eight shutout innings for the Twins and Matt Capps earned his ninth save of the season.
