Six Pack of Stats: White Sox 7, Giants 3

What a great day for Chicago!The White Sox tie the series with the Giants in a fun, and not-so-stressful way! Can we pretend this was the Home Opener? Monday? We don’t know her.

Dylan Cease lacked command today, with five walks in five innings pitched. He also struggled with velocity, with his fastball only up to 96.8 mph. However, those walks never turned into runs, and he only allowed two hits and one earned. The eight strikeouts, though? A thing of beauty. The Opening Day magic was sadly not around today, but I still trust Cease and consider him to be the ace.
