Sunday Night Baseball 5/25/08

Carlos Quentin had 3 RBIs, including a walk-off solo home run to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Angels (I will NEVER refer to them as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim). I scored the game on ESPN. The game was a quintessential pitchers’ duel, with Jose Contreras recording 10 K’s and allowing only 3 hits. Despite Contreras’s stellar performance, he didn’t even get the win, as Scott Linebrink pitched a 1-2-3 9th inning. John Lackey took the loss in a complete game performance, allowing 6 hits, 3 runs striking out 3, and walking 2 with a hit batsman. Quentin went 3-for-3, earning player of the game honors. The game lasted 2 hours and 5 minutes. Interestingly enough, all 3 of Lackey’s K’s were called.
