Two games at Guaranteed Rate Field. Two starting pitchers making their major league debuts. Two losses. The White Sox sweep the doubleheader.
Game one of today’s doubleheader saw the debut of White Sox prospect Dylan Cease. Cease is a very highly touted prospect — FanGraphs has Cease listed as their No. 49 prospect in baseball, while MLB Pipeline ranks him much higher, placing him as their No. 18 prospect. The crowd was, understandably, very excited about his debut.
The Tigers pounced on Cease in the first inning to jump out to an early lead.
