In a Cactus League showdown on Saturday at Camelback Ranch, the Chicago White Sox fell hard to their hometown rivals, the Chicago Cubs. The loss brings the Sox Spring Training record to a disappointing 10-14.
The Chicago White Sox lost their sixth-straight game on Saturday to none other than their hometown rivals on their own Arizona turf.
Trailing the Chicago Cubs throughout the game, the White Sox couldn't keep up with their opponent's offensive prowess and failed to find their own rhythm in the batter's box.
One of the few shining moments of the day came from Josh Fields who blasted a homer off Cubs' Sean Marshall. First baseman Paul Konerko contributed two singles, but it was Chris Getz who ran in the Sox only other run of the game.
The mound also proved anti-climactic for the South Side clubhouse. Veteran pitcher Mark Buehrle may have started things on Saturday, but it didn't take him long to end them. Giving up eight runs within the first 3 and 2/3 innings, the south paw simply did not look himself.
