A lifeless offense set the tone for the day once again for the White Sox, moving now to 0-9 when the pitching staff strikes out 14 or more hitters in the game.
Touki Toussaint got the start for the White Sox this afternoon, throwing five strong innings to keep the White Sox in the game during his spot start. In return, the White Sox managed seven hits – none of them for extra bases – striking out nine times and walking none.
Beyond that, there isn’t much to say about such a lackluster game.
With the loss, the White Sox fall to 38-53.
W: Miles Mikolas (5-5) | L: Touki Toussaint (0-2) | S: Jordan Hicks (7)

The White Sox couldn’t win if you conceded the game to them! It’s becoming pretty obvious that the team gave up long ago, and that the players no longer wish to be here!
