Would you believe me if I told you the White Sox struggled mightily against a rookie pitcher who entered the game with a 10.80 ERA? Given the team’s penchant for withering at any up-and-coming pitcher, you likely believe me. In fact, Seattle Mariners starter Bryan Woo struck out nine in just more than five innings, leaving the South Siders flustered as they feebly chased sliders off the plate away time and time again.
What if I told you that oft-criticized lefties Gavin Sheets and Andrew Benintendi led the offense? They even homered!
ANDREW BENINTENDI FIRST OF THE YEAR!
