#170---CHA @ BOS, 9/4/2010

Both Sox were trying to make the playoffs and would ultimately fall short. The two runs the ChiSox pushed across against John Lackey in the seventh made the difference. Note Manny Ramirez was back in Boston playing for the White Sox, a tenure I don’t really remember. We also see Chris Sale working in relief against his future team, but what really caught my eye was Daniel Bard, who worked through the eighth with three flyouts to center. The night before I wrote this, it was announced that Bard’s long exile from the majors had ended when he made the Rockies’ roster.
