"I felt like coming back up all my stuff was in a good spot, Felt really confident going into (Thursday), first two innings were good. I just kind of lost the sinker command early. Just kind of comes down to got to throw strike one, fell behind in a lot of counts, just makes it tough on yourself. A couple of walks there, a couple of singles and ended up throwing a ton of pitches and kind of put myself in a bad spot."
"Big picture for him, it's about strike throwing, That's not just throwing strikes, it's executing different pitches in different parts of the zone, to lefties, to righties. For him, we talked through the sinker and command of the sinker, that really contributed to some of the downfall of last night for him."
Jonathan Cannon surrendered five runs in 2 1/3 relief innings after issuing back-to-back walks and allowing consecutive RBI singles at Target Field. He had been recalled from Triple-A Charlotte earlier in the day and entered in the second inning, throwing 57 pitches while allowing five hits, two walks and two strikeouts. Cannon lost sinker command, fell behind in counts and incurred high pitch totals that put him in a difficult spot. The White Sox rallied late for an 11-8 win. Manager Will Venable cited strike throwing and sinker command as primary areas for improvement. Cannon was optioned to Charlotte the following day.
