Freddy Flirts with Perfection


(Win Probability graphing by Fangraphs)

This one was just too cool. I've always been a big Freddy Garcia fan ever since watching him come up with the Mariners and enjoyed his successes since being traded to Chicago. (He was the starting pitcher in game 4 of the '05 World Series). In this outstanding effort he went 7 and two-thirds innings before giving up a hit. And with no errors or walks that was incredibly close to perfection. This one was just one-hit allowed on a combined effort. Wow!

Chicago White Sox pitching:
Freddy Garcia: 8.0IP, 1H, 0R, 0ER, 0BB, 3SO, 0HR - Win
Neal Cotts: 1.0IP, 0H, 0R, 0ER, 0BB, 0SO, 0HR

Los Angeles Angels pitching:
Joe Saunders: 3.1IP, 8H, 7R, 7ER, 3BB, 5SO, 0HR - Loss
JC Romero: 0.1IP, 0H, 0R, 0ER, 0BB, 0SO
Kevin Gregg: 2.1IP, 2H, 0R, 0ER, 2BB, 1SO, 0HR
Greg Jones: 2.0IP, 3H, 1R, 0ER, 0BB, 0SO, 0HR
Chris Bootcheck: 1.0IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 0SO, 0HR
