It was quite the odd start for the Chicago White Sox in tonight’s game.
Odd in the sense that the White Sox jumped out to a 2-0 lead against Cleveland ace Trevor Bauer. After Leury Garcia reached base, Yoan Moncada crushed a two-run home run.
Yeah, that was seriously crushed. It is obvious why Moncada is in the 97th percentile for average exit velocity per Baseball Savant.
The White Sox were not done, though. Not even close — especially Moncada.
In the third, Moncada hit a fly all the way near the warning track that easily scored Charlie Tilson for run three.
