Well that did not start ideally for the White Sox. Following a three-up, three-down inning for the top of our order, Cleveland attacked early putting up two in the bottom of the first off of a kind-of double from Myles Straw and a home run from the reigning AL MVP-runner-up. [Insert every Tweet asking, once again, why we are pitching to José Ramírez?].
In the top of the second, the White Sox got runners on base early but as has been a consistent problem all year, couldn’t score. In the bottom of the second, we got a deep dive into Lucas Giolito’s pitching mechanics as Lance Lynn faced three batters.
