Good morning, Birdland!
It took the offense some time, but they eventually piled on with eight runs in their final two innings to beat the White Sox 9-3 on Tuesday night. That win gives them 83 on the season, matching their 2022 total with a month’s worth of games left to play.
It truly is remarkable how good this team has been despite entering the season with rather modest expectations. The general vibe from analysts in the spring was that the team over-performed in 2022 and was likely to suffer a setback in 2023, although their long-term prognosis remained stable.
