Morning Box Score: White Sox Can't Pass Cleveland
By Chuck Sudo in News on Aug 19, 2011 1:00PM
We're ready to turn our attention to football and hockey, since the White Sox don't seem interested in wanting to take care of business in the AL Central. The Sox lost ground in the division last night. Starter Philip Humber was hit above his right eye by a screaming liner off the bat of Kosuke Fukodome. Humber lobbied to stay in the game but Ozzie Guillen removed him for precautionary measures. (Humber will be re-evaluated for his next start.)
Zack Stewart came in and gave up a two-run home run to Matt LaPorta in the fourth inning, while Fukudome added an RBI triple in the sixth inning to tag Will Ohman with the loss. Paul Konerko hit his 28th home run of the season for the Sox.
