Gavin Floyd followed up 7+ shut out innings last week against Cleveland by throwing 7 innings of 1-run, 3-hit ball as the White Sox beat the Red Sox, 3-1. Floyd walked 2 and struck out 6, recording his 9th win of the year for Chicago. Carlos Carrasco, who lost that game to Gavin last week, had another disaster Friday in Cleveland, bombed for 7 on 7 hits and 3 walks in just 3.1 innings of work, and when the pitch after Melky Cabrera's grand slam went over the head of Bill Butler, Carlos was appropriately ejected, his frustration very much in evidence. Carrasco is now 8-9, 4.67 for the fading Indians. Lou Marson (.237) was 0 for 3 for the Tribe.
In Milwaukee, Michael Bourn's (.304) hitting strerak was snapped at 13 with an 0 for 4 in the Astros' 4-0 loss to the Brewers. Sergio Escalona pitched to 1 hitter and allowed a base hit.
In Philadelphia, the Phillies overwhelmed the Pirates, 10-3 in celebration of their acquisition of Hunter Pence. Domonic Brown, who looks to be the man who will lose at bats in the short run, had a hit, and RBI and scored 2 runs for the Phillies. Ryan Howard had double, an RBI (#78) and also scored a run. Andrew Carpenter gave up the 3 runs on 3 hits in just 1 inning of work, but the outcome was long decided by then.
The win by Floyd was #65 for the HomeSide.
