Peavy puzzled by two-out blues in Sox's 7-4 loss to Texas

"It was Elvis Night at U.S. Cellular Field Friday night, so it was somewhat fitting that Texas designated hitter Mitch Moreland, who grew up about 30 minutes outside of Elvis Presley's hometown of Tupelo, Miss., hit two home runs to lead the Rangers past the White Sox 7-4.

But it was mystifying to Sox starter Jake Peavy that he allowed six of his seven runs after two outs, and that a walk and single to Mike Napoli preceded each of Moreland's home runs.

"Just frustrating," said Peavy, whose streak of not allowing a home run in 52 innings vanished when Moreland hit a three-run home run in the fourth to cap a four-run rally. "I just didn't get anybody out with two outs. It's frustrating because I had pretty good stuff tonight and when you have good stuff, you don't expect that.

"It started with (Nelson) Cruz. I got real frustrated with Cruz."

Cruz hit a double that scored Michael Young with the Rangers' first run in the fourth after Peavy was staked to a 3-0 lead.

"The bottom line, you have to get somebody out there," Peavy said. "When they score six runs with two outs and nobody on, that can't happen. It's as disappointing as it gets."

Peavy was fearful of Moreland, who was playing despite a tender hamstring, before the game."
