Eddie Cicotte’s up-and-down June found some momentum in the right direction when he threw a complete game against the Indians. He held them to just a run on five hits and a couple walks.
Unfortunately, Cleveland’s Jim Bagby managed to be even tougher.
The Indians struck for a quick run in the first inning on three soft batted balls -- an infield single, a chopper over the head of Cicotte, and a fielder’s choice that was an eyelash from being a 4-6-3 double play. The White Sox ace settled down after that, but his offense never unsettled Bagby.
