CINCINNATI – After a 5-1 win over the Reds in extra innings late Tuesday night, the White Sox are on one of their best runs of the season.
First-year manager Will Venable’s club has won three of their last four games, something they’ve done just twice all season. Both instances occurred in May, beginning with a 3-1 stretch against the Brewers and Houston at the beginning of the month. As a result, the White Sox are 6-6 in May, though they’re still in last place in the AL Central at 13-29. On Wednesday, they’ll aim to win four out of five games for the first time this year.
Starting pitcher Davis Martin looks to keep that good stretch of play going Wednesday against the Reds on Pete Rose Night at Great American Ballpark. Martin has a 4.01 ERA across 42.2 innings, most recently giving up four runs against the Royals. Left-hander Nick Lodolo takes the mound for the Reds, coming off a six-inning starting with two earned runs against the Braves.
