White Sox Shut Down Stumbling Tigers

Posted Apr 12, 08 6:07 PM CDT in Sports    Most Covered

(Newser) – Gavin Floyd nearly took his success against Detroit to a new level. Floyd held the Tigers hitless until Edgar Renteria singled with one out in the eighth inning today and pitched the Chicago White Sox to a 7-0 victory. Floyd (2-0) had never pitched more than seven innings in the majors. His no-hit bid ended when Renteria hit a liner that fell in front of right fielder Jermaine Dye.

Floyd, 25, struck out four and walked four in 7 1/3 innings on a 39-degree day. Exactly a week earlier, Floyd pitched six solid innings to win at Detroit in his first outing of the season. Floyd is now 2-0 with a 1.71 ERA in four starts against Detroit since last September. He is 0-3 with a 4.50 ERA in three starts against other teams in that span.

    Jones Misses Hanging Out in Clubhouse Major League clubhouses are not what they used to be, reports Detroit Tigers reliever Todd Jones on his blog for the Sporting News. Years ago, players used to arrive late and leave even later after games, sometimes hanging out together til 3 in the morning.
