In his White Sox debut on Wednesday, Anthony Ranaudo should’ve had a game worth celebrating. He carried a no-hitter into the sixth and held the Cubs to just two hits over 6u2154 innings while becoming the first White Sox pitcher to hit a home run since Mark Buehrle in 2009.
Instead, he became immediately immersed in the White Sox’ morass. The two hits he gave up were homers, and one of them wasn’t his fault.
Ranaudo had to settle for a moral victory, and there was one for him.
