It was a very strange Saturday night that took a very disturbing turn.
The Orioles and Chicago White Sox were in the ninth inning of a crazy game that included enough subplots to fill a Russian novel, but none of that – nor the 8-7 White Sox victory – would seem important after closer Zach Britton limped off the field.
Britton had come on to keep the game tied after the Orioles countered a dramatic comeback by the White Sox with a dramatic comeback of their own. He struck out the first two batters he faced, but hurt himself awkwardly fielding a bunt by Adam Eaton.
