When Yoan Moncada came to the plate in the bottom of the eighth, the White Sox were down 2-0 with two outs and the bases empty. Moncada needed to get something going to try to avoid extending their unprecedented bad start to the season. It felt like it was going to take a miracle. Actually, it took three miracles, and the Sox got them all.
Moncada hit a ground-rule double, which would have been a triple had it not gotten stuck under the padding in the right field corner. He advanced to third on a wild pitch, and Yolmer Sanchez hit a high chopper off the plate.
