CHICAGO – The White Sox are back home after a six-game road trip to New York and Baltimore. Will Venable’s club went 1-5 against the Mets and Orioles, avoiding a series sweep with a 9-4 win in Queens, N.Y. on Wednesday.
The offense went quiet in the final three games of the road trip, scoring just five total runs in a sweep against the Orioles. That dropped their record to 18-41, 20.5 games behind the American League Central division-leading Tigers, who come to Rate Field with an MLB-most 39 wins.
Right-hander Jonathan Cannon is set to take the mound for the White Sox, coming off a 5.2-inning outing against the Mets with nine hits and five earned runs. On the other side, right-hander Jack Flaherty gets the start for the Tigers. He had perhaps his best start of the season last week against the Giants, pitching six shutout innings with just two hits allowed and eight strikeouts.
