Chicago White SoxvsPhiladelphia Phillies
CHW 6/PHI 3
Things to say
White Sox beat the Phillies 6-3 at Citizens Bank Park.
01
Yeah, Phillies dropped one at home to the White Sox, 6-3. Chicago jumped on them early and Philly never really clawed back. Citizens Bank was quiet by the seventh.
02
key player
White Sox bats got into his stuff early — heart of the order did the damage, somebody left the yard with runners on and that was the ballgame.
03
hot take
Phillies manager went to the pen way too early, burned a setup arm in a game that was still winnable. That's a getaway-day move on a Saturday.
04
deep cut
Both teams sitting at 34-30 after this — White Sox quietly climbed all the way back to .500, nobody's talking about it.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Phillies' starter can go seven next time out — bullpen needs a breather.
The recap
White Sox walked into Citizens Bank Park and stole one, 6-3, knotting both clubs at 34-30 on the dot. Chicago's bats got into Philly's starter early and never let the heart of the order breathe, while the Sox pen slammed the door once they grabbed the lead.
Felt like a getaway-day vibe where the Phillies manager went to the bullpen a hair too early and the game tilted right there. Quiet stunner in front of the Philly faithful.
