Tonight’s loss was so ordinary in the context of 2018 that I’m struggling to find interesting things to write about it. What can I say?
That James Shields once again managed to grit his way through seven quality innings but still couldn’t get a win?
That White Sox hitters struck out 10 times against Wade LeBlanc?
That the Sox bullpen had only one inning to cover, Rick Renteria used three different relievers in that inning, and they still allowed a run?
Shields’ first start of the second half put him on track to find a home in the rotation of a contending team, even if the prospect return will be light.
