Baseball is, and always will be, a difficult game to predict. Proof of that was in ample supply on Wednesday evening as the Indians, who scored 26 runs in a brief 2-game series against the Royals, were held scoreless by Jake Peavy and the White Sox.
To say that Peavy was good would be a severe understatement. The Chicago starter limited the Tribe to only 3 base-hits, struck out 8, and did not walk a single batter. At the end of the night, the Indians were no closer to solving Peavy than they were at the beginning.
Justin Masterson was almost as brilliant as Peavy, but Masterson allowed 1 run too many. In the bottom of the 1st, back-to back hits led to an Adam Dunn sacrifice fly, and that was all the Sox needed.
Following Dunn's RBI, Masterson matched Peavy pitch for pitch. He shut out the Pale Hose over the next 7 innings, and, despite suffering the tough-luck loss, he hurled the Tribe's 1st complete game of the season.
