Reese Olson’s debut went as well as you could hope on a warm night on the south side. He no hit the White Sox for five innings, racking up six strikeouts with only a walk allowed. Unfortunately the offense couldn’t get much going as the Tigers fell to the Sox 3-0 to open the weekend series.
In many ways it was a classic Olson outing, displaying the strength of his slider and especially his fearsome oneseam changeup, but also his inability to locate his fastball. The latter didn’t really cost him until the end, and for five innings Olson carved up the White Sox with some authority.
