White Sox starter Sean Burke didn’t have much fun with his new toys on Saturday, and when his friends with gloves made their presences known, the afternoon at Wrigley Field didn’t get any more enjoyable.
His seam effects changeup faded arm side, but fluttered belt-high as Pete Crow-Armstrong flicked it center to cap an ultimately decisive four-run Cubs second inning. The first thigh-high sinker that Burke threw to Dansby Swanson was drilled into left field at 100.6 mph to kick off said inning. The second one was fouled off, but the third sinker he threw Swanson ended up in the left-center seats three innings later for a solo shot. And for the second-straight day, the Cubs offense broke through too persistently for any notions of a Sox comeback to take hold.
