This Day In Sox History...May 12

[Lip Man 1]

May 12, 1904 - Future Hall of Famer “Big” Ed Walsh made his White Sox debut pitching in relief. It happened at Philadelphia in a 9-3 loss to the A’s. He threw one inning giving up two hits and a run.

 

May 12, 2013 – Chris Sale couldn’t have picked a better time to show the baseball world what type of pitcher he was as on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball he tossed a complete game one-hitter beating the Angels 3-0 at U.S. Cellular Field.

Sale was dominant taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning before Mike Trout broke it up with a single to center. Chris would finish the night with seven strikeouts and Trout would be the Angels only base runner that evening. The game was scoreless until the Sox half of the seventh when they scored three runs. The big blow was a two-run single from Alexei Ramirez.

There was no doubt when Chris Sale pitched, that was "Must Watch TV!"
