The White Sox dropped their sixth game in a row, losing to the Guardians, 6-3, as they barrel towards rock bottom at 41-63, 13 games out of first. They’re not quite on Kansas City’s level, but it honestly doesn’t feel too far off. Now that Lucas Giolito has been traded, the White Sox are going to be relying Dylan Cease to step up and be the ace we know he can be. Tonight was most definitely not his best ... but I guess he’s had worse?
Cease threw his fastball the majority of the time, but surprise surprise, it was the trusty slider that was the most effective, with a 48% CSW (Called Strike Plus Whiff rate).
