Another series concluded at under .500 for the Chicago White Sox, who fell to 33-34 with a 9-5 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, on Wednesday afternoon. With the Twins leading the Guardians 1-0 in the early stages of their matchup, the Sox will be losing ground to somebody after this evening’s contests conclude.
The Starters
“I just got shelled.”
That’s how Lucas Giolito characterized his afternoon, his fifth straight start of allowing at least four runs. Headlined by a disastrous five-run fifth inning and punctuated by a Bo Bichette grand slam, Giolito’s stuff was simply ineffective today, allowing 14 hard-hit batted balls of at least 95 mph on the way to seven runs, all earned, over five innings.
