Garrett Crochet made a notable return to the White Sox, nearly achieving a no-hitter, while rookie Shane Smith also impressed against the Boston Red Sox. Smith allowed just two runs over six innings in only his third major league start, demonstrating resilience against a formidable lineup. Despite facing challenges, including a pandemic, injuries, and Tommy John surgery, Smith's performance drew comparisons to Crochet's early success, suggesting that the White Sox's pitching future remains bright without their former ace.
"Smith allowed just two runs on five hits over six innings in just his third career start, showcasing poise against a top lineup like Boston's."
"Getting to the big leagues has not been easy for Smith, facing challenges like a pandemic cancellation and Tommy John surgery along the way."
