When It Rains It Pours

[Chisox73]

In the 9th inning in Chicago,White Sox closer Shingo Takatsu just blew his 1st ML save. He gave up a 3-run bomb to Cleveland's Matt Lawton to turn a 5-3 Sox lead to a 6-5 deficit. :angry:

We're now in 3rd place in the AL Central. A 6-5 loss to Cleveland,coupled with Minnesota's win over Oakland this afternoon drops the Sox 7 games back in the Al Central.

It's looking bleak now. :(
