28 (Tigers); 24 (Twins)

You can't spell BueHRle without HR. And two HRs are what Mark Buehrle gave up yesterday in a poor starting effort that dashed the hopes of all Sox fans who thought that his -- and the team's -- slump might be over. The poor pitching performance, complemented by a non-existent offense, led to a 9-1 loss to the Indians. The Sox wasted the chance to gain ground on the Twins, who lost to the Tigers, so they remain a half game behind Minnesota in the Wild Card race. Detroit's victory returned the Tigers' lead over the Sox to 5.5 games. They get another chance tonight against the Tribe, while the teams ahead of them engage in internecine warfare. Go Sox!
