The White Sox losing streak hits six games, and another star player exits the game early with an injury.
Just days after losing Luis Robert to a groin strain, the White Sox lost another superstar outfielder. Jiménez hurt his right hamstring when sprinting to first base, trying to beat out a ground ball. As he approached the bag, Jiménez stretched for the base and landed awkwardly. He stayed on the ground for several minutes while the training staff came to attend to him. Eventually Jiménez stood up under his own power, but he was carted off the field of play.
Surely, their bad luck has to turn around soon, right?In his last start, Velasquez struggled in large part because he couldn’t find the plate. On Saturday, he got in trouble because he found too much of the plate. Velasquez gave up a lot of hard contact to the Twins hitters, who haven’t hit the ball very hard at all this season. Leading up to the game, only Byron Buxton had barreled the ball five times this season for the Twins, according to Statcast.
