Four-game roll halted as early error foreshadows more mistakes
The White Sox were so lousy today that even their best moments came with strings attached.
For instance, trailing 4-0 in the sixth inning, Melky Cabrera followed a Jose Abreu single by pulling the first ball in the air by a Sox hitter all day. It split the right-center gap and Abreu scored from first easily on the double. But ... Cabrera tried stretching into a triple, and he was cut down by a successful relay.
Likewise, in the eighth inning, Chris Davis was robbed of a homer for the second straight day.
