It only took 340 pitches to get through this game, 170 for each side, so that was a pretty good accomplishment. Otherwise, no matter how hard Cleveland tried, they couldn’t help the White Sox break their 14-game home losing streak.
To be fair, it’s not like the Sox didn’t do their share of trying to give the game away, though they of course succeeded. That started in the first inning, when Lane Thomas came up with runners on second and third.
Two runs on an infield single, 2-0 Guardians. Two guys scoring on a ball that didn’t leave the infield is really rare, right?
