José Abreu’s two hits on Saturday earned him a .14 WPA, tops on the White Sox. Alex Gordon of the Kansas City Royals took the game MVP, with .20 WPA.
The Chicago White Sox appear to have started a totemistic relationship with one, single, metal logo chain, bestowed in the dugout on the most recent home run hitter. Nicky Delmonico, with his second in two days and fifth of the season, earned the chain tonight.
Birmingham Barons hurler Dylan Cease holds a 1.05 ERA over his last eight starts.
With three total bases (double and single) in Saturday’s loss to the Royals, Abreu’s career total is now 1,495, five short of the 1,500 mark.
