At a glance:

This is the first meeting of the season between the White Sox and Los Angeles. The Sox went 1-2 at Seattle coming out of the all-star break and they've lost 20 of their last 27 road games. The Sox have lost 6 in a row and 14 of their last 15 at Angel Stadium. Giolito pitched well in his last two starts, allowing 2 earned runs on 5 hits and 6 walks to go with 9 strikeouts in 13⅔ innings. Rookie sensation Shohei Ohtani hasn't pitched since June 6 due to an elbow injury, but he's still able to swing the bat and is Los Angeles' designated hitter.
