The Chicago White Sox started a brief, yet crucial three-day, four-game road trip this afternoon against Cleveland. With the former team holding the division lead and the latter team in second place (three-and-a-half games back entering today), the South Siders planned to further their first-place lead, and they have been successful thus far.
Cleveland is now four-and-a-half games back after suffering a loss in game one of today’s doubleheader.
The Starters
Carlos Rodón had his worst start of the season, blowing 4-2 and 5-4 leads this afternoon. Going six innings, Los gave up nine hits (three of which were home runs), only walked one (to his eight strikeouts), but surrendered five runs.
