It was a brutal season for the White Sox, but that just makes for a more challenging attempt to find five wins out of 61 to celebrate. Let’s start there:
5. White Sox 3, Astros 2 (March 30)
The season opener turned out to be a pitchers’ duel, as starters Framber Valdez and Dylan Cease were on top of their games. Valdez pitched five shutout innings without issuing any walks. Meanwhile, Cease only allowed one run in 6 u2153 innings, and even that run was a result of Aaron Bummer failing to strand a runner that Cease allowed to reach second base with one out.
