The Chicago White Sox bagged their fourth series win of the season by taking two out of three games against the Cincinnati Reds. The series kicked off with a thrilling 5-1 victory in extra innings, where clutch hits propelled them after a tying home run by Reds' All-Star Elly De La Cruz. Pitcher Davis Martin excelled in the series with a strong performance, surrendering only one run in 6.2 innings during their 4-2 win. Manager Will Venable noted the team's overall improvement, emphasizing the positive trends in their recent games as they prepared for an upcoming matchup against the Cubs.
"Good series," Venable said. "You win the series. Obviously ended on this note, where we were feeling really good and thought we were in a good spot to play a good game today."
"Jonathan Cannon and Davis Martin were major reasons for a 5-1 victory on Tuesday and a series-clinching 4-2 win on Wednesday," noting the importance of strong pitching.
The White Sox used an opener on Tuesday - Brandon Eisert pitched a clean first - before turning it over to Cannon. The second-year right-hander had perhaps his best outing of the season.
Overall a great series. And we'll turn the page on today and go and fight the Cubs tomorrow.
