Chicago White SoxvsBaltimore Orioles
CHW 8/BAL 2
Things to say
The White Sox beat the Orioles 8-2 at Camden Yards.
01
opener
Yeah, the Sox jumped on Baltimore early and never looked back. 8-2 wasn't even that close. Camden Yards was dead quiet by the seventh.
02
key player
Chicago's bats were relentless all night. The heart of the order kept turning the lineup over, and a couple balls left the yard. That's how you put up eight.
03
hot take
I don't care that Baltimore's at home, that pitching staff is in trouble. Manager went to the pen way too early and it bit him.
04
deep cut
The quiet story is the White Sox starter going deep into the game. Save the bullpen on a getaway day and let the offense do the rest, that's a clean win.
05
exit
At 44-39 the Sox are sneaky good. Curious if they can keep it rolling in the next one.
The recap
The White Sox went into Camden Yards and dropped an 8-2 hammer on the Orioles, and honestly it never felt that close. Chicago kept stacking crooked numbers while Baltimore's bats stayed cold, and once the heart of the order got rolling the gap just kept growing.
The O's pitching couldn't slam the door, and you could see the manager going to the pen early with nobody able to stop the bleeding. Chalk it up as a getaway-day beatdown that pushes the South Siders to 44-39 while Baltimore sinks deeper at 39-47.
