The White Sox winning streak might have ended Saturday night, but another streak rolls on.
South Side starting pitchers have turned in four straight quality starts, a pretty remarkable occurrence for a staff that’s struggled to find consistency this season.
Miguel Gonzalez and Carlos Rodon went eight innings apiece on back-to-back night’s to close out that series sweep of the Houston Astros, yielding a combined three runs. Then Reynaldo Lopez debuted with six innings and just two runs against the visiting Kansas City Royals, followed by James Shields going six and allowing three in Saturday’s loss.
We’ve all heard that old baseball maxim that hitting is contagious.
