There is good news an bad news if you are a long-time Chicago White Sox fan. The good news, the White Sox moved into 2nd place ahead of the Cleveland Indians by a half game when the Sox won and the Indians lost on Sunday. Now, the bad news, the Sox face Minnesota Twins, who have the Sox's number in recent years. The last time they played, the Sox swept the Twins in Minnesota. The Twins will be seeking to return the favor.
The ChicSox got strong piching from Gavid Floyd who pitched into the 8th inning and left the game with a 9-2 lead. Chicago got that lead courtesy of Dayan Viciendo's three-run blast, his first home runs as a member of the Sox. Ty Flowers, the backup catcher to A.J. Pryzienski, hit his first grand slam over the walll in left field. Chicago scored 6 runs in the inning to take a commanding 9-0 lead. When you get good pitching and a productive offense, you will win games. The problem is can the White Sox get enough run production against good teams?
If they can, this may be a memorable September run. If not, start looking for golf dates. The Sox trail Detroit by 6 games and will face them 6 timed before the season ends.
