The White Sox looked to bounce back after a dominant performance from their former ace, Chris Sale last night. And it looked possible on Saturday, as Dylan Cease faced Jake Pivetta on a cold and rainy fall day in Boston, with the wind not necessarily helping either team.
The first three innings would be fruitless, with an abundance of grounders and fly outs. The White Sox finally started making progress in the fourth with singles from Andrew Benintendi and Eloy Jiménez, but naturally never capitalized with runners on the corners.
Something worth celebrating happened in the bottom of the fourth, though, as Cease earned his 200th strikeout of the season, becoming only the third pitcher in club history to have three consecutive seasons of 200+ strikeouts.
