The White Sox (43-29) are coming off their worst series of the season, as they lost all four to the Astros. This is the first four-game losing streak for the South Siders this season. Fortunately, they are no longer in Houston. Instead, the White Sox are in Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates (25-45), who are having another underwhelming season.
Starting for the White Sox will be Lucas Giolito, who has happy memories against the Pirates. In Giolito’s most recent start against Pittsburgh, he pitched a no-hitter in which he got 30 whiffs, and he had 13 strikeouts as a result.
