The White Sox won at Tampa Bay Monday, 5-4, despite striking out 15 times against a quartet of Devil Rays pitchers. And not even a good quartet as J.P. Howell (7 Ks), Casey Fossum (1 K), and Shawn Camp (7 Ks in 2 2/3 IP!), along with slacker Jay Witasick (0 K) pitched.
The last time the White Sox won a 9-inning game in which they struck out 15 times was all the way back on May 6, 1970, when Sam McDowell of Cleveland fanned 15 White Sox, but lost on a game-ending homer by Carlos May.
