Chicago White Sox Eric Peddy, who is raising his stock price in the trading market, became the winning pitcher with brilliant pitching against the strongest team in the American League (AL).

Peddy started the away game against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on the 4th (Korea time), allowing three hits and three walks in six innings and blocking one run to achieve his ninth quality start this season. The White Sox won 8-2, giving Peddy a win.

Peddy, who added a win in 18 days after the Arizona Diamondbacks match on the 16th of last month, marked 6-3 with a 3.13 ERA for the season. The powerful Cleveland batters, who had ranked first in AL winning percentage and third in team scoring until the previous day, were blocked by Pedi's good pitching.

Peddy, who succeeded in re-entering the Major League by signing a two-year, $15 million contract last winter after being named KBO League MVP last year, has not been followed by Seung-woon. It was largely due to the weak team's batting lineup and bullpen. On the 22nd of last month, he pitched five hits and two runs in seven innings against the Detroit Tigers, but failed to win six times even though he pitched well in five or more innings with three runs or less.

However, on this day, the batters showed their concentration for the first time in a long time and lightened Pedi's shoulders.

Peddy threw 91 pitches, with sinker restraint hitting a maximum of 94.6 miles and an average of 93.2 miles.

Peddy, who took the mound in the bottom of the first inning with a 1-0 lead, allowed a heavy hit to the leadoff Stephen Kwan and a walk to Josh Naylor after two outs, but struck out David Fry with an 84-mile sweeper and went scoreless.

In the second inning, he walked Bonaylor after two outs, sent out Bryan Lockio on a heavy hit, and blocked Kwan with a straight hit to shortstop to end the inning without allowing a run.

However, he eventually allowed a tie in the third inning. Peddy, who gave up a right double to leadoff Daniel Schniman and a walk to Jose Ramirez, grounded out Josh Naylor to first base and gave up a sacrifice fly to center field to allow a 1-1 tie.

However, the White Sox's batters added four more runs in the top of the fourth inning, driving five hits, including Nicky Lopez's timely double, to take a 5-1 lead.

Peddy dominated the fourth inning with his first three-and-out. With eight balls, they defeated Yonkensi Noel, Bonaylor, and Lokio all with bums. In the fifth inning, he silenced Kwan, Schneeman and La Merriz, and blocked three batters in the sixth inning. He handled the last 10 hitters in a row.

Peddy is a representative ace-class starter who is currently rumored to be traded. Some clubs with unstable rotation and poor postseason starters are eyeing it. The Los Angeles Dodgers are the representative team.

The Athletic has been ' for the last three daysJuss could bring White Sox Eric Peddy and Luis Robert Jr. to the package. Will try to get Garrett Crochet, but will be snubbed again. So he predicted that Peddy could fit the Dodgers well.

This year's trade deadline is July 31. As Pedi continues to play well, the number of clubs he covets is expected to increase.
