Jonathan Cannon struggled early, with a 34-pitch first inning, but got help from a familiar sight to White Sox fans: Yoán Moncada taking a called third strike with two men on. Cannon struggled some more in the second, but got a double play with two men on to escape damage.
In fact, Cannon never had a clean inning — the Sox staff didn’t have one until the ninth — but got through five innings on 85 pitches, giving up four singles, three walks, no runs, and racking up five Ks, which we might as well enjoy again.
