Closes out Tigers Bummer picked up his second save, walking one and striking out two over a scoreless 10th inning in Friday's 5-4 win over Detroit.
Tough luck in loss Bummer (0-4) allowed three runs on two hits, a walk and a wild pitch to pick up the loss against the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
Impact Bummer entered a clean eighth inning after Lance Lynn cruised through seven innings of one-run ball.

The right-hander has allowed runs in six of his last nine outings, allowing 10 runs (nine earned) over 7.2 innings.

Fighting mechanics Bummer struck out two over a scoreless inning in Saturday's 7-3 win over Cleveland.
Impact The White Sox's bullpen, projected as a strength entering the season, posted a 4.50 ERA and blew seven saves during April. Bummer was no exception to the struggles.

Tagged with Opening Day loss Bummer (0-1) allowed two unearned runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning and was tagged with the 4-3 loss to the Angels on Thursday.
Impact Holding a one-run lead entering the eighth inning, the White Sox were set up for a season-opening win and the debut of new closer Liam Hendricks, but Bummer couldn't work around a couple of fielding miscues. On a fielder's choice, Nick Madrigal's throw drew Tim Anderson off the second-base bag, then a Yasmani Grandal passed ball advanced runners. A single, a walk and a sacrifice fly later, and Opening Day went from a delight to a bummer. Bummer's been stellar out of the bullpen for the White Sox the previous two seasons and has earned the role as a setup man.

Makes Cactus League debut Bummer allowed two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out two in two-thirds of an inning in Thursday's spring game against the Reds.
