This was an interesting competition for the first few innings, at least, as we had in our hands what looked like a pitching match. White SOX starter Aaron Civale and Royals-Starter Ryan Berget were locked up in a zero-but game of retreating batters. It was an exciting representation of … well, not hit much.
In the bottom of the second, the South Siders men put men on the first and second without outs after Lenyn Sosa worked a walk and Andrew Beninendi followed with a single. But after all, they are the White Sox, so it was just an exercise in “How to Fail” because they were both stranded without scoring a point.
The good boys would finally get a count, although, on a solo shot by Benny in the fourth, a 353 feet break ball that rose long enough in the seats to make us dream of the victory.
However, the fantasy would be short-lived, such as Salvador Perez, who apparently had not received his home run fix, his own clot to open the top of the fifth. But it got worse before they got worse, where Civale loaded the bases, so that the royals stroke man most likely to turn this game, Bobby Witt Jr., could get on the record and – waiting for it – a grounder through the hole between the first and second hits in two runs!
Skipper Will Venable named Tyler Gilbert van de Bullpen, who was all ready and ready to take the hill … for the royals. Vinnie Pasquantino hit a single and drove two more. Gilbert then ran the next batter, and Perez, perpetual SOX Killer, returned to the plate and doubled. Then Frazier, because we had to feel even better about the royals who took the lead, also doubled. KC would eventually score eight runs in the inning, so that what could have been a close game, a total smile.
If the fifth inning was closed for the coffin, the sixth De Royals who switched off the entire Nagelpistool was. After Mike Yastrezemski had shot a three-run Homer in the middle, the score 11-1, at what point you could have packed it as well.
Final thoughts about a really rotten ball game: the SOX only hit all the game seven times, with six of them are singles. Cheeky. With runners in score position, Chicago hit 0-out-8. Civale took the loss, accused of five points on five hits. But let’s really be, the star of the show was Tyler Gilbert. Six runs in a 1/3 of an inning, the goat! Honorable mention, however, goes to Catcher Korey Lee, who threw the last two innings and gives only one point on four hits. Give that man a bull pin contract!
The South Siders will return to action tomorrow and start a homing position with four games against the New York Yankees. It should be a nice weekend, undoubtedly, with an attack just as much better without Luis Robert Jr. and Colson Montgomery. We can’t wait.
