The Chicago White Sox came into St. Petersburg ready to win another series. Tonight was a great start to accomplish that goal against the AL-East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. Lucas Giolito remains dominant, Tim Anderson is that guy, and the bullpen continues to work through its struggles — but showed up after the Sox rallied.
The Starters
Lucas Giolito was just masterful! He continues to pitch well at The Trop, including even his 2018 season. His quality start entailed seven innings of two-run baseball, three hits, and ZERO walks. He struck out eight, and that slider, as I keep saying, is becoming an absolute weapon.
