Worst White Sox Game Scores

Posted by Chris J. on July 6, 2007

Today, Jon Garland got maimed against Minnesota.  He allowed 12 runs, 11 earned, off of 11 hits and 3 walks while recording only 10 outs; none of whom whiffed.  That's a game score of -11.

How does that compare with past ChiSox game scores?  Well, today's action isn't the b-ref database yet (heck, the game isn't over yet as I write this), but I can find the ChiSox gamescores for every other regular season game since 1957 in the PI Index.

Since 1957, the Sox have had 7 other times a guy has had a game score of zero or worse.  Sadly, Garland really did have the worst start by a White Sox pitcher in over a half-century.

    At least he's not Jamie Navarro, who has 3(!) of the other 7.
