Sears scattered five hits in the contest, and he struck out five with one walk in the victory. The only run he allowed was a solo homer by Wyatt Langford, and outside of that he was able to escape the small amounts of trouble he created. He’s allowed just two run over his last 11 frames and , and he has yet to give up more than three runs in any of his outings. He’ll take a 3.21 ERA into a rematch with the Rangers next week.

The 29-year-old southpaw struck out two and issued a pair of walks in the ballgame. All three of the hits that he allowed in the contest were singles. Only once did the White Sox have a player reach third base against him — on a two-out single by Lenyn Sosa in the sixth inning — but Sears got Michael A. Taylor to pop out to the catcher to end the threat. He generated just one swing and miss on 100 pitches in the ballgame, posting an underwhelming CSW of only 20 percent. He’ll see if he can keep the good times rolling as he carries a 3.13 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and an 18/5 K/BB ratio (23 innings) into Wednesday’s showdown against the Rangers.
