EDGE Analysis

The rookie right-hander put together one of his best starts so far in the majors, exiting the game with a 2-1 lead after tossing 94 pitches (59 strikes), but the White Sox bullpen immediately fell apart in the top of the eighth inning. Cannon gave Chicago six or more innings in all five of his July starts, posting a 3.48 ERA and 1.23 WHIP through 31 innings on the month despite a poor 14:11 K:BB, and he's establishing himself as one of the most reliable rotation options on a rebuilding club. He's scheduled to make his next start on the road early next week in Oakland.
