New York YankeesvsChicago White Sox
NYY 1/CHW 2
Things to say
The White Sox walked off the Yankees 2-1 in 11 innings at Rate Field.
01
opener
Man, that was a grind. Sox and Yankees went 11 innings tied 1-1 the whole way. Chicago finally pushed one across to win it 2-1.
02
key player
The pitching carried it, not the bats. Both starters were dealing and combined for one run through the middle of the game. Nobody left the yard all night.
03
hot take
Yankees are 61-48 and still can't cash a runner in extras against a sub-.500 team. That offense goes quiet when it matters.
04
deep cut
It was a getaway day and the Sox bullpen bailed them out. They held New York scoreless in the last few innings to buy time for the walk-off.
05
exit
Anyway, tough one for the Yanks. We'll see if they bounce back next series.
The recap
The White Sox stole one from the Yankees on a getaway day, walking it off 2-1 in the 11th at Rate Field. This was a grind-it-out pitchers' duel, both bullpens trading zeros for innings after the starters handed it off in a 1-1 tie.
New York's arms kept the heart of the order quiet all night, but the South Siders finally pushed the winning run across in extras to send everybody home happy. A tough beat for the Yankees, who couldn't cash in against a White Sox pen that just wouldn't crack.
