NEW YORK — Several pitches after he experienced an indescribable moment watching Matt Albers hit, Jose Abreu experienced a memorable one of his own Wednesday afternoon.
Abreu ended a particularly frustrating game on a high note when his 13th-inning, run-scoring sacrifice fly concluded Albers’ improbable trip around the bases at Citi Field.
Abreu’s sacrifice fly wasn’t only deep enough for Albers to easily tag up and score, it also resulted in the slugger’s first RBI since May 18 and aided the White Sox in a 2-1 win over the New York Mets in 13 innings. Prior to his RBI, Abreu went 0-for-4 with a walk and stranded four runners in scoring position.
