June 2015 This wasn't the greatest month in my career with a 1-3 record in 5 starts. My ERA was high for me at 3.44 but somehow I made it out of June still leading the American League in ERA. Still continue to walk a higher amount than usual but strikeouts remain the same. My biggest problem right now is I can't seem to go very deep into games, pitch count is getting high early in the games. Best thing from this month is I FINALLY beat Baltimore, my mortal enemies.

July 2015 Without being asked the Red Sox decided they didn't want me and shipped me off to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for their SS Alexei Ramirez. Didn't really see this coming and to be traded to my home states rival was kind of anticlimatic. Either way I played my first game with CHA vs my old team Boston and proceeded to earn a W as we beat them 8-1 while I only gave up 4 hits and 1 Run. The rest of the month was very kind to me as I was vote to start the All Star game and I pitched a couple of innings with 3 strikeouts, no hits and no runs. The AL ended up winning the game 2-0. Due to the shortened month I didn't play as much but I did come back two days after the ASG and deliver another W vs the Indians, striking out 9 along the way and allowing no runs. The next game would end up being a loss for the team but a no decision for myself. I had held the Royals to just one run but the bullpen gave up a two run walkoff HR. And finally I earned win #9 vs the A's as I again allowed no runs, keeping my ERA low and continuing to lead the AL. July Stat Line IP HA R ER BB SO ERA 36.1 17 3 3 8 44 0.75
August 2015 Another solid month under my belt, though not nearly as good as July was. I struck out less batters and allowed more runs this month. I was pretty uneventful outside of the Toronto game. I went on to one hit the Blue Jays while striking out 14. Our team overall is performing quite poorly, I doubt we'll even come close to a Wild Card bid as we enter September with a mark of 56-78. We'd have to play well above .500 and I just don't see that happening, I'll do my part where I can...the rest relies on the rest of my team. August Stat Line IP HA R ER BB SO ERA 28 25 7 6 8 25 1.93
September 2015 I think all wind is out of our sails this month, the team isn't hitting well and I did not pitch well. Lost a no hit bid in the 8th inning vs the Twins but other than that I pitched quite poorly, allowing more runs and even 2 HR this month. We finished the year with 101 losses, it was quite awful and you could tell the heart in this team had been ripped out. Here's to better luck next season. 2015 Stat Line GP W L ERA GS QS CG SHO IP H R ER HR BB SO WHIP 31 14 6 1.85 31 27 3 2 204.1 136 49 42 6 55 213 0.93
