Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said his team has guts after showing toughness in back-to-back victories versus the Tampa Bay Rays.

on Friday. “You don’t even want to say that [we’ve had more] because nobody cares. The flip side is I look at the lineup we play every day, and we can win that game. So I don’t feel like we’re at a disadvantage, and this is no disrespect to the guys we’re missing, but we’re deep enough to compete and win games to survive.”

Lucas Giolito gave up five runs, two earned, over six innings on Sunday, but the bullpen — Aaron Bummer, Kendall Graveman and Liam Hendriks — went unscathed by the Rays offense the rest of the way. Hendriks entered in the ninth inning and recorded his 16th save of the season. "That's how the front office built our bullpen," La Russa said."We've got four guys who can pitch the seventh, eighth and ninth. You can mix and match. It's a real asset."

The Sox will continue using their toughness as a survival skill as they begin a six-game homestand Tuesday starting with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
