This was a day game, they’re always tough for me, as I do listen at work, but I can’t pay a lot of attention to them. However, this time it didn’t matter – the show belonged to Joaquin Benoit. He went 6 innings, giving up just one run on four hits. He looked great, and our bullpen was lights out for the final three frames. Rocker, Seanez, & Irabu combined to give up nothing at all, which was great to see.
We didn’t get a lot of offense either, but today we got all we needed. We split with the White Sox, which is about what I figured would happen. One could always hope for more, but I’ll take 2-2 against a division leader (well, almost). :)
