ANAHEIM, Calif. \u2014 It wasn\u2019t the best of outings for White Sox<\/a> left-hander Noah Schultz on Wednesday. He walked the first batter he faced, but worked out of the first inning unscathed.<\/p>\n

The proverbial roof then caved in during a five-run second that included a three-run Travis d\u2019Arnaud homer as Schultz took his second defeat of the season in an 8-2 loss to the Angels at Angel Stadium. That closed a six-game Sox western road trip at 3-3.<\/p>\n

Schultz allowed seven runs on seven hits with four walks and two strikeouts before Sox manager Will Venable yanked him with two out in the fourth.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday it was just a case where they hit some tough pitches,\u201d Venable said. \u201cThe homer was a well-located fastball. Four walks. You have to be a lot more aggressive in the zone. It was just one of those days when he got burned on some pitches.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outing was the antithesis of Schultz\u2019s last one. He opened the road trip this past Friday with oddly an 8-2 win over the Padres at Petco Park in San Diego during which he allowed no runs on two hits in six innings. The walks still plagued him in that game. He had three, two of them in the first inning but pitched out of trouble in that one.<\/p>\n

No such luck against the Angels on Wednesday. What can he learn from it?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of stuff,\u201d he said. \u201cI can definitely look at some video. Make sure I wasn\u2019t giving away any pitches, that I wasn\u2019t getting repetitive. I thought I was going hard, soft, hard, soft pretty frequently. I\u2019ll just have to talk to our staff and make some changes for next week.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was definitely the worst game pitched by a starter on this trip. In the first five games the other four starters had only allowed six earned runs. Schultz blew that up.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not going to be perfect all the time, it was noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, for sure,\u201d Venable said. \u201cI really like where he\u2019s at. He\u2019ll continue to build on all of these starts. This obviously wasn\u2019t the best one. But he\u2019ll continue to go to work and he\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s May and what\u2019s up with Kyle Teel?<\/p>\n

The projected starting catcher has been down with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain since March 10 after running out a double for Team Italy in a victory over Team USA during the World Baseball Classic. Though he\u2019s been throwing and hitting and even crouching to do some catching, running has been problematic Teel admitted on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day I\u2019m taking a step to be back playing baseball,\u201d Teel said. \u201cThe rehab is going good. I\u2019m running better every single day. And it\u2019s only a matter of time before I\u2019ll be ready to go on my rehab assignment and be back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teel has been saying this for weeks. But the reality is this: Around April 19, Teel had a setback running and his rehab assignment at that point was delayed. Originally he was only supposed to be out four to six weeks. That timetable has long since come and gone.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t play if you can\u2019t run and the Sox continue to delay his minor-league rehab assignment. Plus, Venable has been satisfied with the work of Drew Romo both behind the plate and working with the pitching staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeel is getting closer,\u201d Venable said. \u201cI feel really good about his progress, him getting up to speed with his running. But some of the recovery has been slower than we wanted. We\u2019ll continue to push him to run the bases when we go home and see where we are at.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He will be a free agent after the 2027 season.<\/p>\n
