Lucas Giolito‘s one walk allowed was the only blemish on the greatest start of his life. He threw the nineteenth no-hitter in White Sox history in a 4-0 victory. Chicago improves to 18-12, while Pittsburgh falls to 7-18.
W: Lucas Giolito (3-2) | L: Steven Brault (0-1)
Notable Performances
In case you missed it, a power surge at the ballpark prevented a three-run inning by the White Sox from being broadcasted. As a result, there aren’t as many videos to share as usual (when it comes to offense). Regardless, Lucas Giolito owned the night. We’ll get to him shortly.
Tim Anderson: 1-for-3, RBI, BB
Tim Anderson delivered a run-scoring single in the aforementioned second inning which was not televised. However, he also made this (televised) stellar defensive play to preserve Lucas Giolito’s no-hitter in the seventh inning.
Luis Robert: 3-for-4
Luis Robert bounced back nicely from a rough game on Sunday with two singles and a rocket double at the plate.
