This five-game, four-day White Sox-Royals series featured a home-run barrage by Matt Davidson, a “respect the game” finger-wag by Salvador Perez, no weather delays (!), three Sox victories and an unlikely hero in the finale.
Cheslor Cuthbert, a backup infielder who probably did not go high in your fantasy baseball draft, hit two home runs in Kansas City’s 5-4 victory over the Sox.
His first snapped an 0-for-14 skid and ended a homerless streak of 109 at-bats that began in August. His second was a back-breaker for the Sox. It came one pitch after right-fielder Daniel Palka could not make a sliding catch on a ball hit by Jorge Soler with two outs.
