The White Sox had a hard time finding their groove tonight, losing to the Minnesota Twins, 7-2. Maybe it was exhaustion, maybe the Twins outplayed them, or maybe they saw the retirement announcement from their (and our) friend Yermín Mercedes. No matter, they didn’t have it. Even with 10 hits from the Sox and two errors on the Twins side, the South Siders could only get two runs across home plate. Chicago and Minnesota split the series, 2-2.
The pitching was the bigger issue tonight. Dylan Cease struggled to find command early in the game.
