The White Sox were sure to cruise through this one, right? After all, the lowly Royals were starting Carlos Hernandez, with all of two starts this year, both of them very poor, neither over four innings, and a miserable 6.04 ERA. Gotta hit that guy hard, right?
I guess ... if you consider three singles and a double over six innings hitting him hard.
And Hernandez has lousy control, so they’ll get a lot of walks, right? Makes the sky the limit for runs, right?
Well, there was one walk in the first inning, so there is that.
