White Sox vs Cubs 6-20 @ 1:20ct White Sox: Danks admittedly had command issues Saturday night against the Rockies, but he didn't surrender any runs in six innings. He allowed runners to reach third base in four of those innings, but managed to strand them each time. It's a problem he said he would work on fixing after the game. In the meantime, though, Danks' ERA fell to 2.90 and he hasn't lost a start since May 24. Danks has never faced the Cubs in his career, but is 0-1 with a 5.31 ERA in four Interleague starts. Cubs: Although Lilly struggled with command during his last start, the left-hander was able to defeat the Blue Jays in what was one of his best outings of the year. While he did walk a season-high five batters, the left-hander allowed no runs on just one hit over six innings. It was the only start this year where Lilly has not given up a run. As well, the starter has shown signs of improvement lately. Over his last three starts, Lilly has now posted a 2.25 ERA. During that span, he has allowed just five runs on 12 hits over a total of 20 innings. He has struck out 21 batters in that time. |
