Juan Pierre’s slow start is becoming even more painful for White Sox fans: John Ely, the 2004 Homewood-Flossmoor who was the player to be named later in the deal that brought Pierre over from the Dodgers, tamed the Milwaukee Brewers in his second major-league start Thursday in Los Angeles.
| LA Dodgers | IP | H | R | ER | BB | SO | HR | ERA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ely | 6.2 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 7 | 0 | 4.26 |
| Belisario(H, 2) | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 7.88 |
| Kuo(H, 3) | 1.0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 4.91 |
| Broxton(BS, 2)(W, 2-0) | 1.0 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 1.86 |
| Totals | 9.0 | 8 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 12 | 0 | 4.97 |
Meanwhile, Juan Pierre is stinkin’ it up to the tune of a 42 OPS+ and a .227 wOBA. That’s right, 42 OPS+.
