Eric Peddy, who is drawing attention in the trade market, and Chris Flexen, who wore a White Sox uniform this year. However, Flexen is not as lucky as Pedi. I haven't added a multiplier in more than two months.
Flexen started the home game against the Minnesota Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field on the 9th (Korea time), giving up seven hits and one walk in six innings, and blocking well with two runs with seven strikeouts. However, after he went down, the bullpen pitcher lost a three-run lead, failing to win three games again this season. The White Sox lost 6-8 at the end of extra time.
Flexen, who maintained his 2-7 record this season, lowered his ERA from 5.18 to 4.95.
Flexen last became a winning pitcher against the Tampa Bay Rays on May 9 (three hits and one run in six innings). In the meantime, he has pitched jaggedly on his own, but he has not followed Seung-woon. He lost four games and posted a 5.37 ERA in 11 games over the next 61 days. During this period, three quality starts were made, and five games were thrown well with two runs or fewer in five innings.

However, Plessek found stability in the second inning. Thirteen balls overpowered Max Kepler, Byron Buxton and Brooks Lee. In the third inning, he allowed a double to Matt Wallner after one out, grounded out Castro and struck out Correa, allowing no runs.
With the White Sox tying the game 1-1 with Martin Maldonado's solo home run to the middle of the third inning, Flexen lost the lead by losing another point in the fourth inning. After walking the lead Rannick, Jose Miranda was led to a double play by the third baseman to quickly catch two out-counts, but he gave up a sharp double to Kepler to the right and lost a point after being hit by a double to Buxton on the left-field line. Flexen then caught Lee with a straight hit to second base and prevented additional runs.
In the fifth inning, he gave up a right-handed hit to Castro after two outs, but right fielder Gavin Sheets threw accurately to second base and caught the batter and the inning ended. In the bottom of the fifth inning, the White Sox tied the game again with Corey Jules' double to the right-center with two outs and a runner on first base.
After giving up a double to Miranda after two outs in the sixth inning, Flexen caught Kepler with a fly ball to second base and finished the inning to complete a quality start.

The White Sox tied the game 6-6 again in the bottom of the eighth inning when leadoff hitter Luis Robert Jr., who got on base with a walk, went to third base with a stolen base and an opposing wild pitch, and then homered with Nicky Lopez's missed double to the left.
The game was decided in the 11th inning. Minnesota's lead Buxton hit a left-handed hit in the top of the 11th inning to connect the opportunity to the first and third bases with no outs. After Lee's timely hit, Buxton homered and widened the gap to 8-6 when Manuel Margot grounded out to third base.
The White Sox didn't score a run in the bottom of the 11th inning. The White Sox, who have lost three consecutive games, are at the bottom of the major league with 26 wins and 67 losses.
