The White Sox 8-3 victory over the Cardinals Tuesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field was an entertaining but somewhat bizarre contest.
It was billed as a Harvard-Westlake High School mound reunion, with Jack Flaherty bringing his 8-0 record into the contest for the Cardinals and Lucas Giolito coming off an 11-strikeout start in Minnesota for the White Sox. The two are friends and were rotation-mates back in their days in Los Angeles with Ethan Katz, the current White Sox pitching coach, serving as their pitching coach at the time.
Flaherty lasted only 3 2/3 innings, although he had almost no support from his defense. The Cardinals (26-22) committed three errors, leading to only three of Flaherty’s seven runs allowed being earned.
