Executing slider key for White Sox' Sean Burke
Briefly

White Sox manager Will Venable strategically used Tyler Gilbert as an opener against the Athletics, allowing pitchers Sean Burke and Jonathan Cannon to face favorable matchups. Although Burke and Cannon have faced struggles this season, both have shown signs of improvement. Cannon had a commendable performance in winning 10-3 on Saturday, whereas Burke is focused on refining his pitch accuracy, specifically with his slider. Burke believes analyzing past performances will help him replicate successful strategies moving forward to enhance his game.
On Saturday, Cannon pitched 7⅔ innings, allowing three runs and six hits and striking out five in the Sox' 10-3 victory.
I definitely feel better with where my stuff's at...so just continuing to go over the video with that and looking at some data from last year.
There's some times with opposing lineups where you know you're going to get matchups that you like with the lefties on the top three.
Burke has struggled since pitching six scoreless innings on Opening Day against the Angels.
