White Sox 2, Royals 1 / Box Score
WP: Garland (2-2), LP: Perez (2-4), SV: Jenks (12)
Royal Home Runs: None
Royals Record: 11-25
Well, I wasn't crazy about this pitching match up, but Perez pitched far better than I expected. He gave up just two earned runs on five hits in seven innings. Unfortunately, Jon Garland was just a tad better, giving up just one earned run on four hits in 8.1 innings.
The stage was set for the Royals to sneak back into this one in their half of the ninth when Bobby Jenks came in with two outs and a runner on base to face Mike Sweeney. Sweeney blistered a ball toward Joe Crede and Crede made a nice catch to preserve the win for the White Sox.
Tonight, Scott Elarton will make his first start of the season for the Royals. He'll go against Mark Buehrle (2-1, 3.22). Elarton is 2-4 in his career against the White Sox with a 3.73 ERA. Buehrle is 16-6 against the Royals with a 3.28 ERA.
