White Sox 1, Indians 0: Carlos deals, Palk smash

When Daniel Palka came up leading off the bottom of the ninth of a scoreless tie, it was hard not to envision him laying into a pitch and ending the game right then and there. He came into the game with 12 of his 17 home runs coming in the sixth inning or later, and with the highest clutch score (0.70) on the team. Palka got a 1-2 fastball high and outside and gave it a ride to deep left field, sending it well over the left field fence for his 18th home run of the year and a thrilling 1-0 White Sox win.
