“You got to be bleepin’ me!” – Ken “The Hawk” Harrelson
Tonight, the White Sox just couldn’t find the same magic they had in their 7-1 victory in the opener. The Kansas City Royals returned the favor on Wednesday, defeating the White Sox, 9-1. Chicago now sits at 63-45 on the season.
It was a frustrating game for Lucas Giolito. The fans could see it in his face. His pitch movement was a no-show, leading to three home runs. The White Sox ace went only four innings, gave up eight hits, and had six earned runs — ending his streak of three quality starts in a row.
