Jimmy Rollins on key tag-up: 'That's just playing winning baseball'

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Gold Glover Kevin Kiermaier was out, Alex Colome was in and Todd Frazier’s fly ball was in just the right spot where Jimmy Rollins knew he had to advance at all costs.

The veteran White Sox shortstop impacted yet another game in the ninth inning on Friday night when he set up Melky Cabrera’s game-winning hit by tagging up and moving into scoring position. Cabrera’s two-out single to right off Colome gave the White Sox their first lead, and Chris Sale closed out a 1-0 complete-game, shutout victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field.
