Alcides Escobar’s “walk-off” sac bunt in the 10th — on top of a very rare walk drawn earlier in the game — pushed him to an improbable .219 WPA and game MVP. Leading the Chicago White Sox was Jace Fry, at .171 WPA.
With his seven-inning, three-earned outing on Monday, Lucas Giolito is 3-0 with a 2.35 ERA in six career starts (five quality) vs. the Kansas City Royals.
The White Sox need to win seven of their final 18 games to avoid the fourth 100-loss season in franchise history.
