On to the next one, part two: The White Sox bats went ice cold after Tuesday’s 6-1 victory, and now they’ll have to hope they can find some heat again coming home to host Boston (80-62) in a big series this weekend. On the bright side, there are no more late games and weird start times for the foreseeable future!
The Starters
Reynaldo López didn’t have particularly good command today, with control of his slider escaping him in particular. It’s been a good enough out-pitch this year to allow him to more or less abandon his changeup and curveball, but it ran just a 14% CSW today, drawing whiffs on just two of the 15 swings hitters put on it.
