White Sox 9, Red Sox 4: Another big first inning

If you wondered what Monday night's game would have looked like with the White Sox starting a better pitcher, it was your lucky night.

Once again, the White Sox rushed out to a huge first-inning lead. This time, Jeff Samardzija kept the Red Sox from ever truly threatening, and the White Sox's sixth consecutive victory was far easier than slobberknocker in the opening game at Fenway Park.

It started inauspiciously for the Sox, as Adam Eaton was rung up on a classic lefty (non-)strike, and flirted with an ejection by pointing at Doug Eddings' missed call more than once.
