White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen let Chris Sale and Sergio Santos split the ninth inning of Monday's 6-3 win over the Tigers, keeping a potential save off the books.
Guillen is really starting to irk Santos owners. As he's done lately, Guillen allowed the left-handed Sale to face lefty Brennan Boesch to lead off the inning. Santos was called on to retire big right-handed bats Magglio Ordonez and Miguel Cabrera, the latter of which came via strikeout. Santos is clearly the preferred option for saves in Chicago, but Guillen no longer trusts him completely, leading the skipper to play matchups with Matt Thornton and Sale in the ninth inning and occasionally cost Santos a save. Expect more of the same moving forward.
