In a disappointing turn of events, the Chicago White Sox’s struggles continue as they fall to the San Francisco Giants 4-1 on Tuesday night, with Head Coach Grady Sizemore finding himself on the hot seat.
Robbie Ray, the Giants’ standout pitcher, matched his season high with nine strikeouts, helping his team secure a crucial victory. Ray (3-2) rebounded from a rough outing against the Braves, limiting the White Sox to just one run and three hits over 6 2/3 innings. “Man, that was really good,” said Giants manager Bob Melvin. “You would expect a guy like him to respond after a tough outing.” Ray himself noted, “Felt good. I was excited to get back out because I’ve been working on some stuff over the past week and I was just itching to get back out there and try it out.”
The Giants (65-63) extended their winning streak to three games and maintained their position 3 1/2 games behind Atlanta for the final NL wild-card spot. Heliot Ramos drove in two runs, contributing to the Giants’ success.
Meanwhile, the White Sox (30-97) continue their downward spiral, suffering their fourth straight loss and extending their streak to 14 consecutive series defeats. The team’s dismal 3-30 record in their last 33 games has only intensified frustration among fans and increased pressure on Sizemore. “I think there’s never a margin for error,” Sizemore said after the game. “You have to play clean baseball. You have to take advantage of opportunities. Usually, it’s the team that doesn’t hurt themselves that comes out on top.”
Cs choice from Thairo Estrada that brought in a run. The White Sox briefly tied the game in the third with an RBI double from Lenyn Sosa. However, San Francisco quickly regained the lead when White Sox starter Davis Martin walked Ramos with the bases loaded in the bottom of the third.
Ramos continued to shine, adding an RBI single in the fifth inning, while Yastrzemski contributed a run-scoring double in the seventh. Martin (0-2) struggled throughout the game, allowing three runs (two earned) and four hits over 4 1/3 innings.
As the White Sox’s season continues to unravel, the spotlight remains firmly on Grady Sizemore, with fans eagerly awaiting the organization’s next move.
