Years With White Sox: 1981-1983
Dennis Lamp joined the White Sox organization as spring training was winding down in 1981, acquired from the Cubs in exchange for Ken Kravec. During the strike shortened season, Lamp appeared in 27 games for the White Sox, starting 10, and finished the year with 7-6 record and a 2.41 ERA. In August, he gave up the first career hit to Cal Ripken Jr. and, 9 days later, he took a no hitter into the 9th inning against the Brewers, before Robin Yount broke it up with a leadoff double.
1982 again saw Lamp splitting duty between the starting rotation and the bullpen. He appeared in 44 games, starting 27 of them. He finished 11-8 with a 3.99 ERA and 5 saves.
In 1983, Lamp had mostly moved to the bullpen full time, although he still started 5 games. He appeared in 49 games overall and lead the team with 15 saves. He pitched in 3 out of the 4 ALCS games against the Orioles, giving up no hits or earned runs in 2 innings of work.
Following the season, Lamp became a free agent, drawing his White Sox career to a close.
