Happy Anniversary: Chicago's Buehrle baffles A's
Baseball Betting Lines
07/24/2010 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mark Buehrle pitched his second complete game of the season to earn his first career win in Oakland as the White Sox topped the A's, 5-1, to open a three-game series.
Buehrle (9-8) twirled a four-hitter, one a Jack Cust RBI double, and struck out two without issuing a walk. The veteran southpaw made it eight starts in a row allowing three runs or less and broke through for a win at the Coliseum in his 13th appearance and 11th career start there.
Buehrle bested an Oakland club that had won seven of its last eight games coming in and did so on the one-year anniversary of his perfect game against Tampa Bay.
Carlos Quentin and A.J. Pierzynski each had a pair of RBI in the win, Chicago's third in four games after dropping three straight. Alex Rios added two hits and an RBI.
Trevor Cahill (9-4) pitched seven innings in the start for Oakland, surrendering three runs (two earned) on only four hits and two walks. It was just his second loss in his last 13 starts, with the A's going 10-3 in that time.
The White Sox manufactured the game's first run in the fourth when Rios doubled leading off, moved up on a groundout and scored on a Quentin sacrifice fly.
Chicago added two runs in the sixth. Juan Pierre drew a leadoff walk before Omar Vizquel singled to leave runners at the corners. Cliff Pennington's error on a ground ball to short from Rios scored a run and Quentin plated another with groundout.
Meanwhile, Buehrle contended with only a double from Cust in the second and a Coco Crisp two-out single in the third before back-to-back doubles by Kevin Kouzmanoff and Cust in the seventh scored the A's lone run.
Oakland went in order again in the eighth and Pierzynski scored two with a single in the ninth before Buehrle returned to polish off his 26th career complete game with a 1-2-3 bottom half.
