It might still be okay, I texted my concerned brother-in-law: Ryu sometimes gets a little roughed-up in the first but then cruises the rest of the way. And, sure enough, the three runs he gave up in the first were the only ones he allowed in six otherwise credible (and indeed creditable) innings. But alas the boys bopped not on this night: when the two big bats in your lineup on the night are Joe Panik and Santiago Espinal, that's not ideal. The White Sox really are a very good team, and it would have been nice to be able to sneak away with the series win after the eighth-inning gift of the night before, but so it goes. This is the roughest stretch of the schedule, with Boston up next. If the Blue Jays can stay even just a few games above .500 by the time things ease off, they could be in good enough shape the rest of the way. I was going to add "especially if George Springer comes back," but I don't even want to push too hard at that right now: the lineup we've got right now is good enough to stick around. Add an arm or two and who knows?
