At the very least, the righthander with mediocre velocity that shut down the White Sox is doing it to other teams, too; Johnny Cueto’s gutsy performance simply wasn’t enough to outdo the Dodgers lineup and ERA title contender Tony Gonsolin, dropping back to two games below .500 with a 4-1 loss on Wednesday night. On Thursday, the Sox will try to deal lefthander Tyler Anderson (2.59 ERA) his first loss of the season, countering with Dylan Cease’s 3.59 ERA and all-natural approach to covid immunity.
