From yesterday:
The White Sox topped Cleveland 7-2 behind a three-hit game from Gordon Beckham and another solid outing from Chris Sale. It was an interesting start for Sale, as he only registered three strikeouts, but half of the balls Cleveland put in play were grounders. What we're seeing from Sale is an ability to blow teams away when necessary, but also command the ball to keep it on the ground. That's a very, very encouraging sign.
Despite an 0-4 game, Alex Rios is hitting .295.345.423 this season. It's still early, but Rios has done a nice job rebounding through the season's first month. Chuck Garfien talked to Rios and Paul Konerko about the bounceback.
