It was not the best day to be a Chicago White Sox lefthander.
Aaron Bummer and Caleb Frare, on paper the two best lefties out of the pen after Jace Fry, were tattooed for four earned apiece in less than two combined innings, cinching an 11-4 clobbering by the Cincinnati Reds at Camelback on Wednesday.
After Reynaldo López made his spring debut in midseason form — midseason, in the sense that he walked the tightrope and pitched through traffic — Bummer came on in the third inning, with the White Sox down, 2-1.
The southpaw suffered from the jump, issuing two walks before whiffing both Matt Kemp and Eugenio Suarez.
