The White Sox (77-56) returned to play tonight against the Pirates (48-84), who got no-hit by Lucas Giolito last time they faced him. The South Siders took advantage of Pittsburgh’s lack of depth to pull away with a victory Tuesday night.
Yasmani Grandal got the party started against Pirates starter Bryse Wilson. In the bottom of the second, Grandal launched his 18th home run of the season.
Grandal continues to provide a sizable spark to the South Siders’ lineup. Since his return from the injured list on the 27th, Grandal has seven hits, four of which were home runs, in four games.
