The White Sox bullpen pitched well on Saturday, as Fraser Ellard, Cam Booser and Jordan Leasure combined for three scoreless innings with one hit and two walks. The problem, though, was that they were already trailing by five runs by the time Venable turned to the bullpen.

After making a dazzling debut, Chicago White Sox left-hander Martin Perez will look to post back-to-back wins when he starts against the host Detroit Tigers on Sunday afternoon. Perez (1-0, 0.00 ERA) held the Minnesota Twins without a hit for six scoreless innings while posting nine strikeouts on Monday in Chicago's 9-0 victory.
