If you were hoping for fireworks on Tuesday night, the men on the mound delivered. The showdown between Shane Bieber and Lucas Giolito lived up the billing, with neither team crossing home plate until Cleveland scored in the tenth to edge the Chicago White Sox in a 2-0 victory.
Cleveland broke the nine-inning stalemate in the tenth thanks to a one-out infield single from Roberto Pérez, scoring Franmil Reyes from third for the first run of the game and a 1-0 lead. Reyes, on second base to start the inning thanks to MLB’s extra-inning rule, was able to advance to third when Josh Naylor reached base on a chopper that pitcher Garrett Crochet could not corral.
