The White Sox (33-21) entered with a five-game win streak and a 4 1⁄2 -game lead in the AL Central, and second-place Cleveland (29-24) managed to split the doubleheader after falling in a tight game earlier in the day.
So far this season, with 10 (!) contests in the books, these two evenly-matched teams have each won five.
White Sox starter Jimmy Lambert entered tonight’s game with only two innings of major league experience. Yet things got off to a strong start for Lambert, as he retired the first five batters he faced.
