Yo-Yo-ing

The White Sox beat the Rangers Sunday, 8-2, earning a split in the four-game series. That’s good for two cheers, or a cheer-and-a-half with a blah thrown in. Lucas Giolito went five innings, again (third straight start), to get his second straight win. Nothing says “stud” like an 8-6 record and 4.91 ERA. Not. Not when you need 103 innings to record fifteen outs. But you take the fifteen hits and hope it carries into Kansas City, where the Sox play a twin bill on Tuesday. Jose Abreu, Luis Robert and Andrew Vaughn are all flirting with a .300 BA, and Eloy Jimenez isn’t far behind. If Tim Anderson can straighten himself out… Hope springs eternal, into the second week of August.
