Hector Santiago delivered the third straight quality start by a White Sox pitcher tonight. It was about all the team could ask for from a pitcher who had only surpassed four innings one time this season, but Santiago was able to string together six frames and give up only three runs.
All three of those runs came on solo homers, by Manny Machado, Mark Trumbo, and Adam Jones. It’s pretty fortunate that the bases were empty on all three occasions, keeping the Orioles to just three runs. That gave the White Sox plenty of opportunities to try to tie it up or take the lead, and they wasted one after another.
