For the second straight night the Chicago White Sox finished the game with a walk off home run against the Cleveland Indians. On Wednesday night, it was A.J. Pierzynski who hit a home run off Masa Kobayashi to win the game for the Sox. It sucks that it happened that way because Grady Sizemore had just tied the game at 5-5 in the ninth inning for the Indians.
Kobayashi fell to 4-4 as he took the loss for the Indians. C.C. Sabathia started the game for the Tribe and got a no decision after throwing eight innings and giving up seven hits and five runs. Four of the five runs were earned. Sabathia had some troubles in the game as Pierzynski and Jermaine Dye both hit home runs in the first inning but after that he settled down for the most part.
Sizemore and Jamey Carrol both had two rbi each for the Indians. Jhonny Peralta was the other player to record an rbi in the game where the Indians struck out 11 times and left 18 runners on base.
The Indians are now off on Thursday and will start up a series with the Minnesota Twins on Friday.
