Not Yet

Bandwagon delayed. You don’t count on the White Sox winning five in a row with Lucas Giolito taking the mound. Giolito struggled through five innings, allowing a two-run homerun to Carlos Correa, and that was all the Twins needed. Oh, the Sox pulled to within 2-1 in the seventh inning, only for Leury Garcia—the gift from general manager Rick Hahn that keeps on giving—bunted back to the pitcher on an attempted squeeze. After that, interim manager Miguel Cairo channeled his inner Tony La Russa with his bullpen selections. Kendall Graveman wild-pitched in a run, and Vince Velasquez—Rick Hahn gift no. 2—coughed up another two, just in case. Twins 5 Sox 1. Now, it’s onto Seattle and three late starts. I’m too old to stay up past midnight. It will be up to TIVO to deliver the news, good or bad, each morning.
