It will! /xGMcOaRywZ- Chicago White Sox May 26, 2023 South Side bats went dormant for nearly the rest of the game, outside of a brief visit from Gavin (Bonds) Sheets, who hit a solo shot in the top of the fifth to cut the lead down to two. Spencer Torkelson followed suit, driving home the fourth run of the game, extending the Detroit lead to 4-1. This madness still wasn’t enough for Pedro Grifol, as the skipper let Gio face the next hitter and let Javy Báez beat us once again, driving a single to center to score two more runs and take the lead. Just two batters later, Giolito walked his seventh (and final) batter to load the bases once again. Giolito then issued his sixth walk to Miguel Cabrera, and Eric Haase got the best of Lucas once again, doubling to right and increasing his batting average against the Sox righty to. Giolito already had five walks through the first three innings, and the with the previous chaotic inning, you’d think he would have been on a bit of a shorter leash.Īkil Baddoo promptly blasted a 404-foot shot to right on the second pitch of the fourth inning, setting an immediate negative tone. The fourth inning is where things really started to go downhill. Sox 1-0 /dm0XlSXD3e- White Sox Talk May 25, 2023Įven though Giolito was clearly struggling this evening, with rogue pitching violations and multiple bases-loaded jams, but he hung in there, working his way out of a violation in the third inning, getting Matt Vierling to line out into a double play. Romy González and Seby Zavala immediately put together two consecutive Ks, but Burger turned his jets on and stole second base, just in time for Tim Anderson to rip a single to right and bring home the first run of the game, putting the South Siders up, 1-0.īurger showing off the wheels with a steal and runĬredit to TA for knocking him in. The White Sox began to make a lot of contact off of Alex Faedo the first time through the lineup, but once Jake Burger singled in the top of the third, the strikeout show began. The last time Giolito did that was against the Cubs in May 2018, when he was “THE WORST PITCHER IN BASEBALL.” That’s how you can tell tonight was a tough one. He struck out four Tigers hitters, but seven walks are never going to lead anywhere good - yes, seven walks. He threw first-pitch strikes to 68% of batters, but then would lose control in the course of many at-bats. Tonight was not Lucas Giolito’s night, and it was walks that got the best of him, ultimately leading to the Tigers tagging him with the loss today, giving up four runs on just six hits. The pitching has been one of the main pieces that has held the team together over the last week or so, but naturally they had to have a hiccup somewhere.
The White Sox had quite the ugly loss this evening against the Detroit Tigers, dropping their record to 21-31, a game and a half behind the third-place Guardians and now four games out of second in the AL Central.
