Kay

Venable also noted that Sean Burke will work behind Kay in a bulk role. Kay threw 22 pitches over 1 1/3 innings out of the bullpen in Game 1, so he shouldn’t be expected to work more than an inning or two before giving way to Burke on Monday.

Kay gets his 10th win in his — and the White Sox — finale game of the season. The left-hander could be an option for the White Sox if they are to advance to a five or seven-game series, but there’s a decent chance Kay will be left off the playoff roster.

Kay gave up seven hits, walked one and struck out four. He began the fifth inning with a 9-3 lead, but was removed after allowing the first two batters he faced to reach base. Kay is lined up to face the Rockies at home on Sunday. He’s won nine of 30 starts and the White Sox will likely continue to have Kay on a short leash.

Kay allowed two hits and walked two before being pulled at 66 pitches. White Sox manager Will Venable has had a shorter hook with his starters recently, and the plan seemed to work until Hagen Smith faltered in his second inning out of the bullpen. Both runs Kay allowed came on a two-RBI single by Jo Adell. The lefty will carry a 4.41 ERA into his next matchup against the Royals on the road.

Kay walked one and struck out two batters in the ballgame. The Cardinals scratched out a run against him in each of his first three innings of work. The 31-year-old southpaw got just one swing and miss on 67 pitches in the contest, posting an uninspiring CSW of 21 percent. He’ll try to bounce back as he carries a 4.53 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 118/51 K/BB ratio (145 innings) into Wednesday’s critical divisional matchup against the Guardians in Cleveland.

Kay gave up six hits, walked one and struck out three. He fell to 9-8 with the loss. Kay has now allowed 14 earned runs in 13 2/3 innings (9.55 ERA) over his last three starts. His 3.96 ERA prior to that stretch has increased to 4.47 on the season. Kay is lined up to face the Cardinals on the road next weekend.

Kay gave up six hits, walked two and struck out five. He fell to 9-7 with the loss. Kay has now allowed 10 runs combined and failed to complete five innings in either of his last two starts. He has a 4.28 ERA. Kay is lined up to face the Twins at home this weekend.

Kay gave up six hits, walked two and struck out four. He entered play Tuesday with a 2.66 ERA in four August starts. Kay wasn’t quite as sharp against the Rangers as even with an 8-1 lead he couldn’t complete the fifth inning. He has a 4.09 ERA this year. Kay is lined up to face the Astros on the road next week.

Kay struck out six and walked one. He allowed one run through six before giving up a double to Michael Harris II to start the seventh and immediately being lifted afterwards. Harris later came around to score. Kay has given up three runs or fewer in nine straight starts, going 3-3 with a 3.23 ERA during the span. He’ll take his next turn Tuesday against the Rangers.

Kay surrendered a run in the first inning on a walk and two hits. Eduardo Valencia later took Kay deep for a solo homer in the fourth inning before a pair of doubles scored a third run in the fifth. Kay recorded the first out in the sixth and departed at 86 pitches with four strikeouts. The 31-year-old left-hander will take a 4.01 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and a 98/44 K/BB ratio across 121 1/3 innings into a start against the Braves in Chicago on Thursday.
