It was a largely improbable pitcher’s duel in Chicago’s 3-2 win in its home opener on Tuesday, as whoopsie White Sox fourth starter, Vince Velásquez, battled glitterati rookie Matt Brash to a 1-1 duel through four innings.
While Velásquez nervously navigated a very picky Seattle Mariners lineup, surrendering three walks and multiple deep counts, Brash was devastating, tossing hard stuff with Wiffleball action for his first five innings, striking out six and allowing just a single run. Watch out for this arm, people.
But the one hitter who had Brash’s number on Tuesday was Luis Robert.
