The White Sox entered the game dragging their first four-game losing streak of the season. Lucas Giolito and the South Siders looked to snap that streak, but despite a clutch, pinch-hit home run to take the lead late, they could not get it done.
The first scoring threat of the game was in the top of the third. Surprisingly, with two outs and nobody on base, the threat started when Giolito sliced a single (105.6 mph exit velocity) to left.
Lucas Giolito is the first #WhiteSox pitcher to get the team's first hit of the game since Scott Schoeneweis on June 16, 2004

Then, Tim Anderson hit a line drive to right field, and Giolito advanced to third.
