Framber Valdez punches out 9 White Sox over 7 scoreless innings on 8/18/24

He has been right in the last five starts going 4 to 0 with a 2.51. Er, a curveball has been the strikeout pitch when he has faced robert in the past. But this time he goes with the sinker of the fastball and picks up a strikeout. Robert Junior down for the first out and a swing and a miss there is that curveball for another strikeout. The curveball can be a game changer for, from Valdez, but it's been a season changer for him getting heavy on that breaking ball and to great effect earlier in the count but stays here and there's a swing and a miss the curveball results in another strikeout for, went out, ends up striking out the last three in the inning. Gets that call on the inside corner. Fletcher backed off thinking it was inside but Frommer picks up another strikeout that's four swing and a miss that was not a comfortable at bat for Luis Robert Junior who goes down on three pitches and slowly walks back to the dugout. That's five for Frommer Vaughn will be off with a 32 pitch and there he gets the strikeout as he points to home plate slowly walking to the dugout. A frustrating A B but he eventually wins swing. And a miss curveball picks up another strikeout. Brom's got seven. Lopez goes down on a foul tip caught by Janer Diaz. Add to another of those curveball swing and misses eight of 11 for Brom. Vaughn strikes out on a curveball as he did in the first inning. He has struck out against Prober seven times in his career. Every time with that hook ground ball, Dub-n spins it to Pena for one. There is double play number 26. Robert raises his pitching hand in the air as he watches Dub-n start that double play with a nice spin and a throw to Jeremy Pena.
