It was a rather rocky start for Dallas Keuchel, Nick Madrigal, the home plate umpire (well, rocky end for him), and the Chicago White Sox against the Oakland Athletics in Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series, but there was a lot of life in the late-innings. The Sox forced 49 pitches off of Liam Hendriks, presumably driving him from the game tomorrow. Oakland’s bullpen looks gettable, and the Sox’s offense has heated up this series. It should be a thrilling ballgame tomorrow, especially with the Sox holding most of the momentum.
