OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD — White Sox Take 2 of 3 From Twins

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER — White Sox 4, Cleveland 3
After dropping Sunday’s game in extras, the White Sox welcomed Cleveland in for the first of 19 games, and a tight game went the Sox way in the bottom of the 9th on a fortunate bounce, as the Sox benefited from a bad defensive play by the opposition. THE GOOD: The bullpen, which had struggled […]
