I’ll have to start a new winning streak, as Scott Feldman & the Texas Rangers shutdown the White Sox 6-1. Feldman was forced into an emergency start when Eric Hurley had shoulder stiffness. Scott had his share of baserunners, but was able to induce Sox batters into hitting into key doubleplays.
Javier Vazquez was the victim of Josh Hamilton’s three run blast after home plate ump didn’t give Vazquez the corner on a strike three 3-2 pitch that would’ve ended the inning rather than putting another runner on for Hamilton’s monster blast to center. Hank Blalock added insurance with a late shot to the rightfield bar area off Boone Logan. Carlos Quentin’s solo shot was the lone run the Good Guys could muster.
With Jose Contreras on the shelf, rookie lefty Clayton Richard will get the nod Tuesday night for the Pale Hose. Let’s hope the former Michigan backup QB can right the ship.
