Chicago White Sox right-hander Dylan Shees has a five-game winning streak heading into the next game, but his ERA continues to fall below 2.00. The coolness of the All-Star Game seems to be getting worse by the day. Thursday. The
Seas (12-4, 1.98 ERA) closed out his series with an afternoon start as White his four games against the Kansas City Royals on his Sox. Chicago will face Royals right-hander Zach Greinke (3-7, 4.58) before heading home to Detroit for a weekend series against the Tigers.
If the Royals can resolve Cease, the Whites could win his 4-game series for the second straight game after beating the Sox 8-3 on Wednesday night. The Royals scored two runs in the sixth to tie the score, took the lead in the seventh with a homer off MJ Melendez, and then went on to take the win four more times in the eighth.
Now Americans are put to the test against him as one of the league's best pitchers. Back in his July 12 start in Cleveland, Cease gave up a total of two runs in his 30 2/3 innings, during which he had an ERA of 0.59. He allowed only 19 total hits in that dominant run.
"He's been like that all year," White said Sox manager Tony La Russa. "He's had one (bad) game. He may have a bad inning, but you can't let him down. He just keeps competing.
"He's a weapon. he's really smart he's got a great combination of heart and guts he's got a little bit smarter every time he goes out there he's got to go there tomorrow so we'll see how it goes Let's see."
Thursday will be Cease's third start of the season against the Royals. He gave up two runs in his sixth innings without a decision on April 27, and on May 17 he scored a scoreless victory in 5 2/3 innings.
Greinke has played against White's Sox many times in his career. He's 9-10 with a 3.94 ERA and 30 appearances (27 starts). He has scored two no-decisions in his two starts so far in his 2022 White against the Sox, and in 11 2/3 innings he allowed five runs. I'm here.
Greinke has been pitching better than his 3-7 record suggests, with most of the damage against him being accounted for in a few starts. This included his final outing on Friday when he allowed 4 runs on 7 hits in 4 2/3 innings in his 7–4 loss to the Boston Red Sox. will be It was the fifth time he allowed at least four earned runs in a start.
"(Red He's a Sox hitter) wasn't really doing what I wanted him to do," Greinke said. “I threw some close balls early on some counts and they took them.
"That just didn't work out as planned."
Greinke was completely royal in that start. was part of a lineup made up of players from the United States. His eight positions as designated hitter and Greinke all of his players were either originally drafted or signed by the Royals. And in a homegrown heavy rotation, that could happen often for the rest of this season.
I always thought it was," manager Mike Matheny said. "They all grow through the organization."
