Chicago White SoxvsNew York Yankees
CHW 5/NYY 1
Things to say
White Sox beat the Yankees 5-1 at Yankee Stadium.
01
opener
Sox went into the Bronx and stole one. Five to one, never really felt that close. Yankees bats were just dead all night.
02
key player
Whoever the Chicago starter was got into his stuff early — heart of the order couldn't touch him. Yankees managed one run total, that tells you everything.
03
hot take
Yankees are 45-28 and everyone's still acting like they're scary. They've been losing series to teams under .500 all month.
04
deep cut
Sox bullpen has been quietly nasty lately. Closing out a one-run game in Yankee Stadium without breaking a sweat? That doesn't happen by accident.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Chicago can take the series tomorrow — getaway day in the Bronx is always weird.
The recap
White Sox went into the Bronx and stole one, 5-1, which nobody had on their bingo card. Chicago's bats finally showed up against Yankee pitching while their guy on the mound clearly got into his stuff early and kept the heart of that Yankee order quiet all night.
One run at home for the Bombers tells you everything — somebody in pinstripes is going to hear about that OBP on the morning shows. Getaway day in the Bronx and the White Sox are the ones flying home happy.
