Monday night started off a very wet one at US Cellular Field. With rain in the forcast, whether a game was going to be played was up in arms. A cancelled game seemed to be the answer after there had been a nine minute rain delay before the first pitch was even thrown. However that was not the case. The umpires decided to go on with the game, but it had been a downpour throughout the whole night.
The White Sox started Gavin Floyd on the mound who pitched a total of 6 1/3 waterlogged innings. He gave up only three runs, two being earned, and five hits. The Sox then put in Mike Myers, who gave up a home run, right before a 2 hours and 32 minutes rain delay in the 7th inning. The rain delay left a score of 4-2 in favor of the Indians on the scoreboard for quite some time.
When the Sox finally returned to the field for the last two innings, let’s just say that they looked like anything but enthusiastic to be out there again… and it showed. From defensive errors to inactive bats, the Sox did very little to test the Indians.
After a lengthy 5 ½ hour game, with less the 200 fans left in the stands, the White Sox fell short to the Indians 6-2. Now tied with the Florida Marlins and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for the worst record in baseball, the Sox season looks like it might come to an end quicker than the fans had intended.
