Lucas Giolito didn’t replicate his historic no-hitter Monday night at Target Field, and didn’t even figure in the decision.

EIGHT (OF NINE) IS ENOUGH — White Sox 10, Pirates 3
After getting no-hit last night, the Pirates got their first hit of the series on the very first pitch of the game from Sox starter Dallas Keuchel. That was about as close as the Pirates would get to winning this game, as Keuchel settled down, and the Sox offense put up 10 runs to sweep […]

HAND-Y WORK — White Sox 4, Cleveland 0
White Sox starting pitchers have been, in a word, bad to start the 2020 season, aside from Dallas Keuchel.
