The Chicago White Sox lost second straight game from the Chicago Cubs 1-2 in the second match of their three-game regular series encounter on Tuesday, June 19 at U.S. Cellular in 2012 Major League Baseball season.
The Cubs’ are on right track as they seemed aggressive after losing too many games since start of this fresh MLB season.
Cubs’ with their right combination, played brilliantly and held the White Sox with full thrust and never allowed them any chance to dominate them at any point of the game.
Travis Wood pitched six innings and proved one of the winning factors in the Cubs’ win. He stood tall against the strong batting line-up of White Sox and never allowed to play him easy instead kept them under pressure with his fast and curving pitches.
He finished off with four hits and allowed one run only. He not only never looked tired during his spell but he also maintained his consistent 4.14 ERA.
"Get the first one, get the monkey off your back, and hopefully, you start rolling from here," Wood said with confidence.
The White Sox starter Jake Peavy however, disappointed with his nine innings’ outing as he received five hits and two runs. He did not look comfortable on the mound and gave too much waivered deliveries.
"Teams that we feel we should beat that aren't playing that well, we got to show up and take advantage of these opportunities, Detroit is coming. And we know Cleveland isn't going anywhere." Peavy said.
Cubs’ overall entire management was happy as their team has now started a great run towards a potential chance to qualify for the post season.
"You always understand the pressures of coming to a new team, especially when you were traded for one of the best relievers in baseball, You want to impress. It sure seems like he's relaxed out there, making his pitches and making pitches when he has to." Cubs manager Dale Sveum said.
In the meanwhile, the last and third game of the series between these two will be played on Wednesday, June 20.
