Right fielder Jermaine Dye smacked 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Chicago
(AL) Whitesox beat the Toronto Bluejays in 11 innings by a score of 10 to
8.

The score was tied at 8 after nine. Chicago (AL) won it in the 11th inning.
After an out was recorded, Tadahito Iguchi was the sparkplug when he banged
out a single. One out later, Dye came up and he popped a two-run clout over
the fence (his 9th of the season). The Toronto batters went down meekly in
the bottom of the 11th.

Neal Cotts(2-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 2 innings and allowing no
runs. The loss was charged to Jason Frasor(0-1) in relief. By surrending 2
runs in 1 and 2/3 innings his ERA jumped from 4.22 to 5.11.

Chicago (AL) now has a record of 14-8. With this loss, Toronto has a 4-6
record of late, 14-10 overall.

Tadahito Iguchi smashed 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Toronto Bluejays were
badly beaten by the Chicago (AL) Whitesox, 16 to 1.

It was a good day for Chicago (AL) thanks to Iguchi. He cleared the fences
for a two-run home run in the 1st inning, lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' (his
5th of the season) in the 6th inning and delivered a one-base hit in the 8th
inning. Chicago (AL) bats were very productive in the 1st inning when they
had 8 runs on 7 hits and the 8th inning when they had 7 runs on 6 hits.
Chicago (AL) had a total of 18 hits for the game.

Buehrle(3-1) allowed 1 run on the game. The left-handed Buehrle lost his
chance for a no-hitter when Gregg Zaun homered with nobody out in the 6th
inning. Josh Towers(3-1) was given the loss.

WEB GEMS- Top 8th: Trot Nixon robbed Aubrey Huff of a Homerun!

The Tampa Bay ballclub had very little trouble at Fenway Park downing the
Boston Redsox. The score was 12 to 5.

The Boston fans didn't appreciate the big day Toby Hall had. He doubled
emptying the bases in the 4th inning, cracked a solo homerun (his 2nd of the
season) in the 6th inning and smacked a single plating two runs in the 9th
inning. Tampa Bay had many opportunities throughout the game and scored in 6
separate innings.

The win was credited to Seth McClung(1-2) who went 7 innings allowing 5 runs.
Bronson Arroyo(2-3) was charged with the loss. He was knocked around,
surrendering 6 runs in 4 and 1/3 innings.

The Tampa Bay ballclub's record now stands at 5-12. With the loss, Boston has
a record of 6-4 lately, 14-7 overall.
