The past two games have been a bit of a reversal of fortunes for the White Sox. The offensive explosion of the first nine Sox games has calmed a bit, and the awful starting and bullpen pitching during that same period has been solid. The only predictable thing about this team early in 2023 is that they’re completely unpredictable.
Dylan Cease pitched well enough today to earn the W despite not having his best stuff. He was masterful in the first frame, striking out the side and totaling six strikeouts for the game. However, he still struggled with the free passes, giving up two walks and hitting two batters.
