After  K'ing the 1st 7 batters of the game the Sox knocked out Luis Castillo with a 4 run inning with the help of Seattle's defense and held on for a 9-6 win with only 3 of their runs being earned . Liam with a perfect 9th for the save !

 

Sox win the series taking 2 of 3 .

Start the Jet!!! Big series win! 

the death march to 82 wins continues.

This was really a big win. The White Sox Are Coming, Tra La, Tra La!!!!

What a great comeback win . the kind that makes you believe again . hope things go well in Oakland.

Sox also did a nice job scoring runners from 3rd with less less 2 outs with 3 productive outs, 2 from Gavin Sheets and one from Abreu. Sheets 2nd one was the eventual game winner.

Also a very nice move by bringing Vince Velasquez in when the shadows were strong and having him throw nothing but curve balls. Soxtalk was howling about the move but it turned out to be an easy inning for V.V.

Speculation is that Graveman was hurt but maybe it was just a savvy move  to bring in a guy with a nice curve in the shadows when hitters can't pick up the spin.

6-3 without TLR at the helm, so far.

Keep winning series after series and we should be right there at the end.

Let's make a statement and sweep Oakland!

And that, my friends, was the biggest win of the season...providing they follow it up with at least 3/4 in Oakland.  If not, just more fools-gold.

Surely it’s just a coincidence.

Unpoop.

The other team scored 6 runs and we still won. How many times has that happened this year?

Also noted that Hendriks threw only one fastball, used it as a shoulder high bait pitch for strike three.  But somehow our guys got two in the 8th under the same conditions.  Need Cease to eat innings tomorrow.  Kopech wore out the bullpen today.

3 other times the Sox have won when allowing 6 or more runs.  All 3 times were in the 1st half.

For someone who couldn’t see the game - How did Kopech look?

Velocity was good, control wasn’t. Otherwise same good and bad as the rest of the year, only working two pitches, moderately effective with each, gets in trouble if someone gets on base because he’s liable to walk someone or groove a ball.

Twins lost. Sox now tied for 2nd. 

ROYALS walk it off!!!!

I would be remiss if I didn't mention a very key contribution from Abreu who hustled to beat a DP ball, that was overturned by NY ,which would've ended the inning and then Eloy hit the HR to cut the deficit from 4-0 to 4-2. Without that bit of hustle it's likely the Sox lose.

Eloy also went 3 for 4 with 3 RBI and was the hitting star of the game  with the Sox scoring 9 runs on only 8 hits. No one else had more than 1 hit.

What a great series win — on the road against the hottest team in baseball.  Weird that with all the disappointments of this season the team seems to play better against quality opponents than they did last year.

This game at first felt like a Chris sale start where he would be untouchable through the 5th inning and the Sox would lose 4-1 after a crucial error in the 6th Inning that Chris couldn’t pitch over, except from the opponents view

It changed the whole game.  No question.

Moncada had zero hits and should not be batting #2 in the lineup. He hasn't earned that right with his .199 BA and .270 OBP. Come on Cairo don't be stupid like Tony with the lineup!
