The summer heat and humidity hung in the air as 37,151 fans cheered on Gavin Williams for his first start of the season. Gavin Williams was injured back in Spring Training and was finally ready to take the mound once more. Williams did not have a historic, triumphant return, but there is a lot to look forward to for the sophomore righty. Williams went 4.0 innings and gave up 7 hits, 5 runs, and 2 walks. He only struck out 2 White Sox, but his fastball was topping out at 98.9 mph. Williams relied primarily on his fastball in the outing and threw 74 pitches, 46 of which were strikes.
