Aaron Civale allowed five runs — two earned — while throwing five innings against the Dodgers on Thursday and picking up a loss.
Yes, there were three unearned runs, but don’t let it fool you into thinking Civale was fine outside of his defense. The 30-year-old gave up a pair of run-scoring doubles to Freddie Freeman and a two-run homer to Michael Conforto over the first three innings. He’s now 1-5 on the season, and he’ll try and get his first victory as a member of the White Sox next week against the Blue Jays.
