White Sox Stumble as Diamondbacks Strike with Precision at Rate Field
The Chicago White Sox faced a challenging night against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Rate Field, resulting in a 10-0 defeat. This game marked the 25-54 record for the Sox, while the D-Backs improved to 40-38. The South Siders struggled offensively, managing only 5 hits throughout the game and committing one error.
First Inning
The first inning set an early tone as Arizona's lineup came out swinging. The D-Backs scored two runs on three hits, immediately putting pressure on Chicago's defense. Despite efforts from White Sox starter Shane Smith, who had an ERA of 22.5 in this outing, he was unable to contain Arizona's aggressive approach.
Second Inning
Arizona continued their offensive momentum into the second inning by adding three more runs with just one hit and capitalizing on walks issued by Smith. This surge increased their lead to five runs and highlighted a critical moment in what would become a dominant performance by the Snakes.
