A Cold Day at the South Side
Well, White Sox fans, it wasn’t the day we were hoping for at Guaranteed Rate Field. Our boys in black and white took on the Cubs, and unfortunately, the North Side came out on top with a 6-1 defeat. Despite a solid start from our pitching staff through the early innings, the bats were too quiet, leaving us no room for errors once things took a turn later in the game.Pitching Gets Us Started
Our pitching held strong through the first six innings, managing to keep the Cubs' lineup silent. Aaron Civale started off setting a great tone with four innings of no runs. Burke Alexander and Delvis Leasure came in to continue keeping the Cubs at bay. Unfortunately, things spiraled in the 7th — Leasure gave up a homer to Ian Happ and another to Matt Shaw. It was a tough inning, leading to a 3-run surge from the Cubs.Searching for the Offense
While our pitching had its moments, the offense struggled to capitalize. We had some opportunities throughout; Chase Meidroth's walk in the 1st and Kyle Teel's single in the 2nd were prime chances, but double plays ended our threats. As the game proceeded, four different Cubs pitchers shut us down, one after another, until...A Glimmer of Hope from Tauchman
In the 9th inning, Mike Tauchman gave us a glimpse of what could be, launching a homer to right center, marking his first home run of the season. Meidroth followed up with a single, but that promising start to the inning didn’t pan out, as the Cubs' pitching closed the door on any comeback attempt.Looking Ahead
️
Though it was a tough day for our White Sox, there's no denying that baseball is a long season full of ups and downs. Let’s keep our spirits high and hope the offense finds its rhythm soon. No doubt our boys will come back fighting the next game! Keep the faith, Sox fans!
