Jeff Samardzija has never allowed more home runs in a season than he has in 2015.
The two he yielded in the sixth inning on Wednesday night put the White Sox in a hole from which they never recovered. Samardzija allowed four runs and the White Sox lost to the Cleveland Indians, 6-4, despite three solo home runs of their own.
Trayce Thompson, who later committed a costly, two-run error, Tyler Saladino and Jose Abreu all homered in the loss.
“If you’re going to miss location it’s hard to keep it in the yard,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.
