Subject: Smiley -- Week 15 -- Chicago 4 Minnesota 0

Well, things were looking good with a 4 game sweep of the Mariners this week at the Metrodome.  So the Twins were all fired up going into Chicago, hopefully to chop a few games off of Oakland’s lead in the AL West.  As you can see by the ZIP file, the Twins laid and egg for the 2nd straight week, getting their asses handed to them by the White Sox.  Every funky play, every bad split went against the Twins in this series it seemed.  On to the gory details…..

 

Game 1:  Allan Anderson pitched his tail off in game 1,  allowing only 2 hits thru 8 innings and leading 2-1 heading into the 9th.  The problem was is that his 3rd hit allowed was a solo homer by George Hendrick to tie the game at 2 in the 9th.  In the 13th, Greg Gagne led off the inning with a single and moved to 2nd on a Kevin bass sacrifice.  Billy Hatcher then drove in Gagne and the Twins were again up 3-2.  Now entering the game, your AL saves leader Jeff Reardon promptly gave up a solo homer to Chili Davis to tie the game at 3.  With 2 outs, Gerald Young singled and stole 2nd.  Steve Sax then drove home Young with and single and Reardon picks up his 10th blown save of the year and jacking his ERA to 5.93.   It only gets better for White Sox fans….

 

Game 2:  White Sox win 6-4 after Ivan Calderon pops a 2 run homer in the 6th off Sid Fernandez.  Jeff Bittiger goes 1 inning, then the White Sox bullpen got to work.  Bobby Thigpen pitches 4 innings of scoreless relief and my old high running mate Jerry Reed picks up his first save of the year.

 

Game 3:  White Sox win 7-6 with a 2 run rally off of you know who, Jeff Reardon.  Chicago led 5-2 after 6 innings as Chili Davis hit a 3 run homer in the inning.  Minnesota charges back in the 8th, scoring 4 runs as Gary Gaetti hit a pinch 3 run homer off of Alejandro Pena.  With Jesse Orosco in the game, he was moving down the White Sox until the 9th inning.  Alfredo Griffin led off the inning with a walk and advanced to 3rd on a SB/E2.  Mike Aldrete walked with one out and Reardon entered the game to face to right hand batters, Tim Wallach and Mickey Brantley.  Wallach greeted Reardon with a single scoring Griffin to tie the game.  Then Brantley had a base hit, scoring Aldrete for the win.  Instead of picking up save #26, Reardon gets blown save #11.

 

Game 4:  Minnesota thought they had a chance with the matchup vs. Jack Armstrong.  The Twins loaded up with left hand batters and the game started.  Armstrong proceeded to pitch a no hitter into the 7th inning before Kirby Puckett singled with 1 out.  Meanwhile in the White Sox 5th, Ivan Calderon had hit a 3 run homer to put the Sox up 4-0.  The Twins managed to scratch out runs in the 7th and 8th, but the White Sox held on for the sweep of the series.

 

Minnesota now stands 8 games out and this was a back breaking series.  Chicago trails Minnesota by only 3 games for second place.
