Friday’s White Sox matchup, with Freddy Peralta and Lucas Giolito set to start, was expected to be a low-scoring affair, at least through the early innings. And that’s what we got, at least in early innings.
Craig Counsell’s approach, intended to save arms in the second-half of the season was in effect. Peralta looked sharp across four highly managed and scoreless innings, allowing only one hit, two walks, and struck out five.
Freddy Peralta went just four innings tonight (1 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 SO, 51 pitches) to help manage his innings workload.
