White Sox: Comeback Bid Falls Short Thanks to Bullpen Implosion
White Sox offense able to come back in the eighth inning after being held scoreless but bullpen implodes and is unable to hold lead.
Coming off their first win of the season on Sunday, the Chicago White Sox saw a comeback bid fall short on Monday thanks to their bullpen. The Sox would fall 5-3 to the Cleveland Indians on the road as their bullpen imploded after being gifted a late lead.
Ivan Nova, pitching in his first game for the White Sox on Monday afternoon, had a brilliant outing for the team. He pitched a strong seven innings and allowed just one earned run on six hits while recording four strikeouts. However, Nova didn’t get any run support from the Sox offense.
