Rundown


[INTRO] Sean Burke continues his scorching heater by pitching 6.2 scoreless innings vs. Toronto. What's been working for him?


[5:43] Davis Martin was solid on Saturday as the White Sox continue to limit his pitch count to around 85 pitches. Is that to conserve energy? Or is there another factor in play?


[9:14] Jordan Hicks tossed another scoreless inning. In his last 7 appearances, Hicks has only allowed 2 hits and walked 1 batter. Is this White Sox bullpen getting stronger?


[17:44] The Montgomery's, Colson and Braden, led the offensive charge


[27:17] Which AL Central team worries you the most from a White Sox POV?


[33:47] Series Preview: Texas Rangers
