There just aren’t many normal wins for the Chicago White Sox this season.
After a stirring rally from four runs, then five runs, down, only to lose the tie and knot the game back up in the ninth, Ricky’s Boys stitched together a lunatic fringe of a 12th inning to win, 12-8.
The White Sox put themselves in a position to put up a crooked number in extras thusly: Tim Anderson led off and got on via Scooter Gennett error and stole second. Matt Davidson walked, and hometown hero Adam Engel’s sacrifice bunt turned into an error, loading the bases, as Engel snapped the ball out of Gennett’s glove covering first (somehow, that error was charged on the throw, to third sacker Eugenio Suarez).
