The White Sox might have suffered their worst loss yet Saturday, their losing streak growing to 10 games. But Luis Robert Jr.’s benching and communication breakdown added a whole new heaping helping of yuck to the White Sox’ woes.
Lucas Giolito pitched 6.2 innings of solid baseball, yet the Chicago White Sox bats were not able to produce enough runs to win…again. Jake Burger and Andrew Vaughn did their best to help the Sox cause by homering, but it was not enough to out-power the Rays who have now homered in every road game this year. The White Sox…
