Lucas Giolito falters in a five-run fifth

Early Cy Young Award candidate and 2019 All-Star Lucas Giolito couldn’t get the job done for the second time this year versus the Chicago Cubs. A disastrous fifth sealed the deal in a disappointing, 6-3 Chicago White Sox loss.

With one out in the first, Kris Bryant drove home Javier Báez on a ball sent to left field; unfortunately, the sun hindered Eoy Jiménez from making the catch on what appeared to be a routine fly. This peculiar play set the tone for the rest of a sloppy game. Most of the sloppiness came from a three-error Cubs effort, but the Sox failed to take advantage.
