Aaron Civale leads the White Sox staff in a one-hit gem for a series win

The White Sox picked up their 10th win post All-Star break thanks to Aaron Civale’s pitching clinic against the Angels — and had plenty of help from a solid bullpen as well.

The 1-0 squeaker was arguably the most impressive win this season, as Anaheim could only put up one hit, and the White Sox held on for eight innings with just a one-run lead. With one game left to go, the South Siders have claimed the series and will go for a sweep tomorrow.

Luis Robert Jr. had the first hit of the game in the second inning, and quickly stole second. Kyle Teel sent Robert home with a one-out single.

Brooks Baldwin kept the hits going with the third single in the inning, and Josh Rojas picked up a walk to load the bases, prompting an early mound meeting for the Halos. Alas, Mike Tauchman grounded out to second, stranding three.

Civale had another 1-2-3 inning in the second, and picked up his fourth strikeout.

The Angels finally showed signs of life in the fourth inning, when they got their first hit of the game via a single from Zach Neto. A disengagement violation was called, sending Neto to second, and Noah Schaunel walked. Civale pitched through a jam by getting old friend Yoán Moncada to strike out swinging.

To break up what was becoming a terrific pitchers’ duel a little, Teel drew a walk in the seventh and Baldwin got on base with two outs — but both runners were left on base. While the Halos dug into their bullpen, Civale was back out for the Sox for the seventh and started the frame with his eighth strikeout. However, he was pulled after the quick K, with his best game of the season under his belt.

Brandon Eisert stepped in for two quick outs, and a low-hit shutout on the road was becoming more and more a possibility.

The eighth and top of the ninth were uneventful. Jordan Leasure stepped out with a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth and helped shut out the Angels, who would end the game with just a single hit.

The White Sox are 10-4 since the All-Star break.

Tell a friend.
