Happy Saturday, White Sox fans, and happy Johnny Cueto Day. The game started in a delay of two hours and 56 minutes this evening, but that had no ill effect on South Side surprise ace Johnny Cueto.
Cueto fiercely dominated in his best performance of the season, shutting out the Guardians in an almost-complete game, serving up 26 outs before giving way to Liam Hendriks with one on and two outs in the ninth.
Cueto brought another artfully deceptive performance against Shane Bieber, who had his left index finger heavily taped, yet still brought plenty of challenge to the hotdog.
