#502---CLE @ CHA, 4/5/2007

 

Mark Buerhle always seemed to give the Tribe fits, but Grady Sizemore jumped him for a leadoff homer and he had to leave after he was hit by line drive off Ryan Garko’s bat in the second. Jason Michaels added a homer in the third and the visitors led 2-1 before Jeremy Sowers basically handed the White Sox the tying run in the fourth, walking two and hitting one before yielding a sac fly. Scott Podsednik’s two-out single off Rafael Betancourt gave Chicago their first lead in the bottom of the seventh, but Michaels doubled in Sizemore against Matt Thornton in the eighth to tie the game at three. In the bottom of the ninth, longtime White Sox closer Roberto Hernandez failed to record an out against his former team, surrendering singles to Jermaine Dye and Joe Crede before making a throwing error, intentionally walking Tadahito Iguchi, and plunking AJ Pierzynski for the walkoff hit batter.
