Steve Stone called it on the pregame broadcast. Two great pitchers locked in a low-scoring pitchers’ duel: Is this a late birthday gift for me?
Next question: How will the White Sox ruin it?
In true White Sox fashion, they begin by stranding runners on the corners. Command was lacking a bit for Erick Fedde, but thankfully no damage was done. The top of the second was just as uneventful outside of Jack Flaherty’s third strikeout of the game.
In the bottom of the second Justyn-Henry Malloy doubled to center, followed by a Carson Kelly two-run homer, putting the Tigers up by two.
