CHICAGO — After rousing offensive efforts in all three games at Fenway Park this weekend, the White Sox fell asleep against Marco Gonzales and Seattle in a 2-0 loss.
Perhaps it was the absence of injured AL Player of the Week Edwin Encarnación, but the 3-7 Mariners marched into Sox Park like they owned the joint.
Gonzales spun a five-hit shutout, walking none and striking out just three. He had a game score of 80, and didn’t allow a White Sox runner to reach third base.
The early story of the game was the major league debut of southpaw Matt Tomshaw, who surprised the Monday afternoon crowd of more than 25,000 by matching Marco pitch-for-pitch.
