Chad Billingsley(1-1) pitched a fine game. He went 6 innings allowing 6 hits and 3 walks. Billingsley chalked up 9 strikeouts. Chicago (AL) had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. Billingsley got help from Mariano Rivera who was credited with his 2nd save. The losing pitcher was Daisuke Matsuzaka(1-1). He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 12 hits and 2 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings. Brian Stoops was subdued after the ballgame, 'That one really hurts. If our guys had simply played more fundamentally sound, we could have won that one. That is what really ticks me off!'
