The White Sox enter this, the final game of their 13 scheduled against the Kansas City Royals for 2023, looking to avoid finishing with a losing record this season against a team currently on pace for the sixth-most losses in the live-ball era. How’s that for a game outlook?
Reliever Steven Cruz is listed as the starter for Kansas City, but he’ll reportedly only serve as an opener for rookie Alec Marsh, who has made eight starts and appeared as a bulk reliever (as he will tonight) in five more. He’s still in search of his first MLB win, bearing an ignominious 0-8 record to start his career.
