White Sox right-hander Vince Velasquez could have let his start Sunday get out of hand. After a choppy first inning, however, Velasquez was able to give the Sox’ taxed bullpen some relief and the offense a chance to get back into the game.
The latter didn’t happen in the Sox’ 9-3 loss to the Rays that deprived them of a three-game sweep. Velasquez and manager Tony La Russa, however, were heartened by how he recovered from the Rays’ four-run first.
