The lone silver lining came elsewhere, as Cleveland also […]
Thank goodness for the Blue Jays. Their 11-0 blanking of the Cleveland Guardians was in the books halfway through this one, which will make it a little easier for the White Sox to sleep tonight after suffering vapor lock in both halves of the eighth inning. In the top of it, they had runners on the corners with nobody out, and bases loaded with one out, and couldn't convert on either. In the bottom half, a Chase Meidroth error-turned-hometown-single forced Sean Newcomb to record four outs, a...

Two major qualms people have about the Chicago White Sox lately: Starting pitchers needing to find a way to go deeper into games and the offense needing to capitalize with runners in scoring position. Last night’s loss was a mix of both when Anthony Kay was knocked out in the fifth inning, and the offense left 14 runners on base. Tonight, thanks to two-out base hits from Andrew Benintendi, Colson Montgomery, and Randal Grichuk, the White Sox offense found a way to score five runs. That was ...
