Sporcle Saturday: Pitcher 10+K career games

Good morning!

Lucas Giolito turned in a nice performance on Wednesday afternoon, striking out 11 Twins over 8 innings. It was the second start of the season Giolito has struck out at least 10 batters and the twelfth in his career. With the outing, Lucas moves into a tie for fifth place all-time on the franchise leaderboard. He’s three off from third place and six off from second place, so it isn’t inconceivable that he’s in the top-3 by season’s end.

Today’s Sporcle will examine other pitchers throughout franchise history that have logged multiple games of 10 or more strikeouts during their White Sox career. To qualify, the pitcher in question much have turned in at least 3 such games. That leaves us with 33 names: how many can you get? Good luck!
