Box Score of the Week

The White Sox were in town this past week, which got me thinking of the many memorable Sox-Twins matchups over the past 10+ seasons.

With that in mind, let's check out a game from July 2009.

----------------------------------------------

When Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle got former teammate Joe Crede to ground out in the bottom of the 5th inning, it was the 42nd consecutive batter he retired, setting a MLB record (Buehrle pitched a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays in his previous start). He went on to extend the record to 45 before allowing a walk to Alexi Casilla with two outs in the sixth.
