This game was a slog for everybody.
Carson Fulmer spent the first inning working at a crawl, which we soon found out was due to a blister that limited him to just three batters — a groundout and two walks.
That forced Rick Renteria to try to stay competitive while covering 8 1⁄3 innings from a depleted bullpen.
Dallas Keuchel didn’t have such physical issues, but he didn’t have his good stuff either, especially early. He faced based-loaded situations in the second and third innings.
The White Sox offense couldn’t exactly find a higher gear, either.
