White Sox win, 5-3, almost backing up Cueto’s six shutout innings

Hey, new White Sox ace Johnny Cueto learned a thing or two about pace of play, with the pitch clock rules he encountered in Charlotte speeding him through the first four innings of his amazing debut on Monday.

Seriously, was Mark Buerhle out there?

And what Buerhle didn’t do, that helps Cueto immensely, was playing around with his delivery.

Cueto left after six innings of shutout baseball, which is absolutely the best possible ask of an older pitcher making his first start of the season after getting a late start to the year after signing a minor league contract.
