The White Sox just won 2 of 3 games against the host Yankees this past weekend, including Sunday’s doubleheader sweep which the White Sox pitching limited the Yankees to just 1 run. Now the White Sox open a homestand with a three-game set against the Red Sox, who have won 5 in a row and 9 of 12. The White Sox are set to start right-hander Dylan Cease (4-1, 3.09 ERA) and he will be facing Boston’s righty Nick Pivetta (2-4, 4.22). Cease took a no-decision on May 7 at Boston after pitching 5 innings giving up 1 run, 4 hits, and 8 strikeouts. Cease has pitched to a 7.30 ERA in 3 career appearances against the Red Sox covering 12 1/3 innings. Pivetta also opposed Cease earlier this month and took a no-decision despite 6 shutout innings with 5 hits and 8 strikeouts. Pivetta is 0-0 with a 1.50 ERA in 5 career appearances against the White Sox.
