You can’t make this stuff up; you just can’t. The Sox played some decent ball today and still lost games 102 and 103 as the World Series Champion Texas Rangers swept Wednesday’s twin bill.
The White Sox got right to business in the bottom of the first off of rookie Jack Leiter. After a walk to Nicky Lopez and a catcher’s interference call awarded Luis Robert Jr. first base, Andrew Benintendi drove them both home on a double to center. The clutch hit put the Good Guys up 2-0.
As you already anticipated, the lead didn’t last long.
