Cannon (2-5) earned the win over the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Cannon was finally able to pick up his first win since June 18, though he's allowed three runs or fewer in five of his eight starts since then. Tuesday was his sixth straight start going at least six innings and his five strikeouts were his most in a start since he had seven back on June 12. While the strikeout numbers aren't great, Cannon's ability to throw strikes and work deep into games has been huge for a White Sox rotation that hasn't been able to get much length outside of his starts. The 23-year-old rookie owns a 3.91 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 51:20 K:BB in 76 innings and lines up to face the Yankees next week.
