Pitcher Drew Thorpe of the White Sox came into Saturday with a horrendous line for 2024, mostly based on a very bad second start of his career. He righted the ship in his third start, shutting out the Tigers for six innings on two hits as Chicago went on to win the game 5-1. It wasn’t a perfect outing, as he walked four to go with this five strike outs. He blew away the minor leagues, however, with a 21-3 record and a 2.17 ERA in 199 1/3 innings. He improved moving from A to AA, which was likely a major reason for his call up.
