Well, that’ll happen.
The White Sox walked off on the Cleveland Indians tonight after scoring three runs against Carlos Carrasco in the bottom of the ninth. If you’re reading that and wondering if something a little odd was going on, I will spoil it for you now: there was.
Trevor Bauer started tonight’s game and pitched four innings, tossing sixty pitches. He only allowed two runs and looked sharp, striking out four and walking zero. The Indians planned for this well in advance and piggybacked Carrasco. This achieved two goals: the first, to help Bauer continue to stretch back out after his return from the DL.
