HOUSTON -- In Sunday's 6-0 victory over the Astros, John Danks became the sixth pitcher in White Sox history to record a shutout while allowing at least 10 hits. The veteran left-hander knows he received plenty of help from his defense -- and a smart replay challenge from his manager.
The Astros strung together three straight one-out singles in the third inning, when Jose Altuve was initially ruled safe at first base on a grounder to second base. But White Sox manager Robin Ventura's challenge overturned the call, wiping a run off the scoreboard and extinguishing the biggest threat to Danks all game.
