The White Sox returned from the All-Star break with a bang, dismantling the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-1. Jonathan Cannon delivered a masterful performance on the mound, while the White Sox offense exploded for multiple big innings to secure the convincing victory.
Cannon, showing no signs of rust after a few extra days off, was in complete control from the outset. He pitched seven strong innings, allowing just one run on five hits, with no walks and two strikeouts, tossing 58 of his 86 pitches for strikes. It was an impressive quality start that set the tone for the entire game.
