Can Cueto Deliver?
The Chicago White Sox have, as previously mentioned, now lost five of their last six. Their pitching staff has started to let this team down, too, Manager Tony La Russa said, “He ended up in a really good spot this time to get them, but there’s a position where the game breaks your heart and we couldn’t hold it for him,” alluding to starter Lucas Giolito after the 4-3 loss Monday.
Veteran Johnny Cueto is set to start Tuesday night. He’s just 1-4, but has pitched to a solid ERA of 3.19. Chicago’s not getting consistent offense when Cueto is on the mound, thus limiting his error margin.
Jose Abreu leads the team with nine home runs, while Luis Robert has a team-high 36 RBIs. Chicago has been dealt a number of injuries to key players this season, and that has really hurt the production.
Angels Need More
The Los Angeles Angels have received great production from Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, though struggles abound in the rest of the order. Trout has 22 home runs and a team-high .286 batting average, while Ohtani has driven in 47 runs to lead the team.
LA had a number of players and coaches get suspended after Sunday’s Mariner melee. That hurts an offense hitting just .239 Interim manager Phil Nevin was given a 10-game ban, beginning Monday night.
Righthander Chase Silseth is starting Tuesday night, with a record of 1-2 with a 4.96 ERA this season. An ineffective outing against the Phillies last time, having failed to survive two innings, Silseth allowed four (earned) runs on four hits, including two homers.
