Chicago WS 7, Cleveland 1

ap recap :: box score :: game log

Boy am I glad that I was doing some good for injured/abandoned wildlife while the game was on! It was a slow day at Wildcare and I was tempted to hop on the computer to check in, but I held back. Didn't want to ruin that rush of happiness when I would arrive home and check the outcome:P

From the box score, I gather that our offense was rendered ineffective, especially with men in scoring position. It not that they didn't get hits, they just didn't translate into runs. And Westbrook (6-4) pitched really well. In six innings, he allowed only 4 hits and no earned runs with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts. This should help his already low 2.77 ERA (there's some guy out there playing fantasy baseball who got stuck with Westbrook at the beginning of the season loving him now).

On Friday they start a 3-game Interleague series against the Colorado Rockies at the Jake. The way the offense has been connecting, too bad they aren't played at Coors Field where the high altitude definitely helps the ball fly free. Interleague play is good for nothing!
