The White Sox again proved adept at handling football weather, winning their second straight in soggy and adverse conditions in Boston, 3-2. The game went a full six innings before rains swept in to delay it, and after a 1:43 pause in play, that score held up as final.
The pitcher we don’t name threw a second straight “complete game,” allowing two solo homers and leaving almost all balls in play, with not a single walk or strikeout (OK, he decked two Bosox in the game). He’s a dirtbag and not someone who should be pitching for the White Sox, but credit due: He shook off some horrid peripherals early in the season that suggested his strong start was a mirage and proved the key member of the rotation.
