The Chicago White Sox, coming off a historic 2024 season with 121 losses, secured their second win of the season with a commanding 9-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Martin Perez shone on the mound, leading with six no-hit innings before being substituted after 93 pitches to prioritize his longevity. This strategic decision highlights the team's cautious approach, aiming for a more successful season ahead. The White Sox's starting pitchers have yet to allow an earned run in the first few games, showcasing an improvement in their pitching strategy and overall team performance.
"We talked it through," Venable said of his decision to pull Perez. "It was the best thing for him, and the best thing for us to turn the page."
"I told him I feel great, but I was honest, too," Perez said. "There's no way I can go three more innings with that kind of pitches. It's too early, and I think it's a long season. So we have to think in the future, not now."
