From yesterday:
Chris Sale struck out seven Angels but only threw 5 13 innings, although it was enough for the White Sox to push past Los Angeles 6-1 to earn a two-game series split in California. A.J. Pierzynski had another big day at the plate and Dayan Viciedo homered for the third time in his last four games.
Viciedo, though, may not get a chance to keep up his recent string of success, as Adam Dunn is expected to start in left field for Friday's BP Crosstown Cup opener. Keeping Dunn in the lineup is more important, but man, that stinks for the Tank.
Tony Andracki and I looked at what to watch for in this weekend's series, with both of us predicting the Cubs take two of three. Also, Chuck Garfien, Bill Melton and Frank Thomas previewed the Cubs-Sox clash:
And Jeff Samardzija tried to infuse some life into the rivalry, saying "you can always get a good nap in during a Sox game."
Darryl and Ron Swanson are back at it, arguing Cubs-Sox for another New Era spot.
Back to White Sox business: Jared Mitchell's been slumping in the minor leagues, although Dylan Axelrod continues to succeed in Triple-A. That's good news, because he's almost certainly due for a call-up if the Sox need another starter now that the Padres claimed Eric Stults off waivers.
