Adam Dunn, Alex Rios, and John Danks all did their part in today's opener against the two time AL Champion Texas Rangers. Unfortunately it wasn't enough as the rest of the team was stifled by Rangers' starter Colby Lewis. The Rangers' starter threw six innings only giving up two runs to the Pale Hose.
Adam Dunn cut the Rangers lead to 2-1 with solo 431ft moonshot in the 6th. In the same inning, Alex Rios seemed to get a shot of life off an Alexei Ramirez bloop single. Rios was running on the pitch and scored to tie the game.
Danks gave up the winning run in the bottom half of the 6th and our Sox weren't able to get anything else going as they went 0-7 with RISP. They also struck out 13 fucking times today. Brent Morel went 0-4 striking out all four plate appearances.
Joe Nathan retired the Sox in order in the 9th. Yes, ex-Twin Joe Nathan. The guy probably got wood in the bullpen when he was called to close the game.
The Sox will seek their first win on the 2012 campaign tomorrow night. Jake Peavy will try not to blow his arm out in his first start of the season.
