The Chicago White Sox showcased a powerful bullpen performance in their recent victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, coming back strong after starter Adrian Houser exited early due to injury. Tyler Gilbert played a pivotal role, striking out Oneil Cruz and allowing the offense to capitalize with a six-run sixth inning, culminating in a 10-4 win.
The Sox bullpen, which includes young talents like Grant Taylor and Mike Vasil alongside seasoned players like Tyler Alexander, combined for 4 2/3 scoreless innings, only conceding three hits. Their collective ERA since June 19 stands at an impressive 2.75, second-best in the league.
Assistant pitching coach Matt Wise highlighted the group’s growth as they have settled into their roles. This consistency has been vital for the White Sox as they prepare for upcoming matchups, despite still holding the fewest saves in the majors. The team's ability to support each other and maintain a competitive environment has been crucial in their recent successes.
