It all starts with the starters.
The win snapped a 10-game losing streak. And the Sox are 14-10 since, the most wins in that span in an American League Central in whichWhile still in fourth place and 10 games under .500 after Thursday’s 7-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, the Sox have made up three games on the first-place Minnesota Twins since April 30 and are six games behind.
In the last 13 games before Thursday, Sox starters had a 2.37 ERA, .193 opponents average and 65 strikeouts. They ranked first in the majors in WHIP and opponents average and second in ERA during that span. “When you’re walking that many guys that early in the game, bad things are bound to happen, and sure enough they did,” Giolito said. “Obviously next start, stay in the zone more. Get back to what I was doing before.“Starting staff’s been doing a fantastic job until I screwed that up. Let these other guys pick me up the rest of the series and give it another go back home.”“He’s been great. One of those days, man,” manager Pedro Grifol said.
Michael Kopech has been the standout lately. The right-hander has allowed three hits and one walk with 19 strikeouts in 15 scoreless innings over his last two starts. He is the first pitcher in franchise history to record back-to-back outings of seven-plus scoreless innings while allowing two or fewer hits, one or no walks and striking out at least nine.
