For the first six innings of this game, it looked like we had a low-scoring affair on our hands. The Royals had managed a single three-run rally against James Shields, while the White Sox had managed to scrape across single runs in the fourth and sixth.
In the bottom of the seventh, with the Sox down 3-2, lefty Tim Hill remained on the mound after finishing off the sixth in relief of Jakob Junis. In the moment right before Yoán Moncada came to the plate to lead off, someone flipped a switch somewhere, because the bats came alive.
