The Chicago White Sox lost 3-1 to the Miami Marlins, marking their disappointing record of 11-29, the worst in the American League. Shane Smith, their starting pitcher, delivered a strong performance with six scoreless innings and an impressive ERA of 2.08. However, he became part of an unfortunate statistic, being the only pitcher since 1913 to have a sub-2.50 ERA in his first 8 starts yet lose 7 of them. Richard Fitts, Boston Red Sox's pitcher, is also at risk of joining this anomaly with a 2.39 ERA but an 0-3 win-loss record.
Shane Smith's exceptional performance remains overshadowed by the White Sox's struggles, with his sub-2.50 ERA yielding a staggering 7 losses in 8 starts.
Richard Fitts, despite a promising 2.39 ERA, also finds himself winless in his first seven starts, highlighting a rare and frustrating trend for young pitchers.
