Sox Machine

Yesterday: Pretty much a replay of Monday’s loss. Plenty of traffic on the basepath’s but White Sox offense struggle scoring runs. 

Today: Good chance that the last game in Detroit this season will be washed away by rain. If Mother Nature cooperates, it’ll be Reynaldo Lopez on the mound. 

Around MLB: Chris Bassitt and Shane Bieber will return later this week. Race for the NL West title stays hot and AL Wild Card race is still tight.
