The Chicago White Sox didn’t win their game on Thursday afternoon. Those types of games happen but something special did happen for them. Tony La Russa wanted to get Liam Hendriks an inning so he went out there in the 8th. During that inning, he recorded his 100th strikeout of the season. That is so awesome for a relief pitcher that mostly only ever goes one inning at a time.
