The White Sox even managed to score a few runs off of Justin Verlander in the late innings. The Sox had the lead in the eighth but lost it when Joakim Soria couldn’t find the strike zone.
Big hits off a tough pitcher
Justin Verlander is currently ranked as the fourth best pitcher in the MLB based on ERA and the best pitcher in the MLB based on WHIP. And, the Sox scored two runs while he was on the mound. That’s a good day for any team.
The two players who scored on Verlander’s watch were Omar Narvaez and Yoan Moncada.
