AikenThe White Sox are undefeated at home in 2019. After grinding out an exciting 10-8 win in the Home Opener yesterday, they look to keep it going this afternoon in the second game against the Mariners.Lucas Giolito opened his season with a bang in Kansas City, as he took a no-hitter into the seventh inning. After walking the first opposing hitter on four pitches, he retired the next 19 hitters he faced. The Royals finally managed three hits off Giolito in the seventh, but his ending line was still terrific: 6 2鈦? innings, three hits, two runs (both earned), one walk, and eight strikeouts.Giolito will be squaring up against 31-year old right-hander Mike Leake.

Rookie Shane Bieber struck out a career-high 11 and improved to 10-3.Donaldson went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his Indians debut in a game that saw Edwin Encarnacion reach the 30-homer mark for a seventh straight season.Snell, 18-5 with a 2.06 ERA on the season, is 6-0 with a 1.42 ERA in seven starts since coming off the disabled list.“I really think this team can do it,” Snell said Tuesday. “I think we can prove a lot of people wrong.

Oakland comes to St. Petersburg this weekend, but the lead appears insurmountable.The Indians announced Kluber will be skipped this weekend, giving him rest for the upcoming playoffs.“At some point Corey was going to have an extra two days off,” manager Terry Francona said before Tuesday night’s game. “There was no way around it. So Carl (Willis, pitching coach) and he decided that this week he’ll take it.”Kluber, closing in on a possible third Cy Young Award, wasn’t thrilled http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-tim-tebow-jersey , Francona said, “So, he’s going to get a week (off) this week, which is too long.

And that was the only way to do it.”Trevor Bauer, out with a right fibula stress fracture, is slated to throw off the bullpen mound as he starts his road back.For Tampa Bay, Matt Duffy missed his second straight start with back stiffness, pinch hit but is likely to rest again Wednesday.
