Dylan Cease spun a one-hitter over seven innings in his latest masterful start for the Chicago White Sox, who walloped Minnesota 11-0 on Sunday and surged into the All-Star break by winning three out of four games against the first-place Twins.
, who walloped Minnesota 11-0 on Sunday and surged into the All-Star break by winning three out of four games against the first-place Twins.
The White Sox had 16 hits on a hot and humid afternoon, including home runs by Yoán Moncada, Vaughn and Josh Harrison in the seventh inning. Chicago outscored the Twins 32-10 during the series to pick up two games in the standings.Lowering his ERA to 2.15 with his fifth scoreless start of the season, Cease struck out eight to become the fastest pitcher in White Sox history to record 500 career strikeouts. He got there in 399 1/3 innings, well ahead of seven-time All-Star Chris Sale .
Vaughn followed with a two-run double four batters later to prompt manager Rocco Baldelli to pull Archer. The White Sox roughed up right-hander Joe Smith in a six-run seventh inning with a two-run homer by Moncada, a solo drive by Vaughn and a three-run homer by Harrison. The defending division champion White Sox were one of baseball’s most egregious first-half underachievers, having not been above the .500 mark since May 25. They’re 11-7 in July, though, and looking every bit the a formidable challenger to a Twins club that has been in first place for all but one day since April 24 when they finished a three-game sweep of the White Sox.
