### Decisions

|Winning Pitcher|Losing Pitcher|Save|
|:-:|:-:|:-:|
|Clevinger (3-3, 4.56 ERA)|Battenfield (0-5, 5.19 ERA)||

*Game ended at 9:46 PM.*

31 comments
  1. * Sheets and Vaughn hit solo HRs. Burger hit a 2-run HR.
    * Sheets & Burger homered in back-to-back games.
    * Kamka: [Jake Burger has now swung at 23 consecutive pitches. It’s the longest streak in MLB this season. 10 more than anyone else (via SportRadar)](https://twitter.com/ckamka/status/1659002648803016707). He took the first 2 pitches of his AB in the 6th.
    * Burger finished a double shy of the cycle. 16 of his 22 hits this season are for extra bases.
    * Moncada hit an RBI single.
    * Grandal appeared to tweak something on a single in the 6th. After a SB and an error, the pinch-runner (Haseley) scored on a TA RBI single.
    * Clevinger allowed 2 ER in 6+ IP.
    * ReyLo allowed only 1 run, getting out of a 0 outs, bases loaded jam.

  2. imagine losing a series to the 2023 white Sox lol.

    Say it with me boys:

    FUCK THE GUARDIANS

  3. Do you think it’s ethical to win the drawing for the London series and not go to the games?

  4. 🕯
    🕯 🕯
    🕯 🕯

    🕯 🕯

    🕯 🕯
    🕯 🕯
    🕯

    Good health for Yasmani Grandal. Amen 🙏🏽

  5. Help me understand, why don’t they just hit lots of home runs every game? Are they stupid?

    In all seriousness, what a great stretch to show Menechino how ridiculous his philosophy was. The long ball is back, and hopefully it sticks around.

  6. Gordon Beckham calling Sheets & Burger the “young guys “ on the team. They are both older than Eloy, Vaughn, Luis, etc

  7. It’s really cathartic to watch the Sox beat a team in the same fashion that they’ve been beaten all year. Force the other team to make mistakes, then pounce on them for making those. More of that please!

  8. Feels so good to see Cleveland fans get knocked off their high horse. They’re experiencing sorta what we went through last year

  9. Overall a super nice game. Woulda loved to see Robert hit a 5th HR so that he could be on top of the “white Sox players with most consecutive HR’s” list

  10. This discussion about the iPitch not being taken on the road earlier is both hilarious and sad

  11. Bullpen has gotten it together…offense is almost healthy and homering more frequently…Gallo and Polanco got hurt today for Minnesota…AL Central is still trash.

    Goddammit, I’m back in lol 🤷‍♂️

  12. Today was the first game I went to that I’m old enough to remember. Couldn’t have been better

  13. I know everyone hates Mike and I didn’t watch the game because of blackout in cle but he has been doing alright…right? We need this dude to pitch like this

  14. regardless of how the season has gone, winning a series against cleveland hits like crack

  15. Anybody else really enjoying Joe Kelly shimmying and quick pitching 100 mph 2 seamers that guys are both swinging at, and also trying to avoid getting hit in the nuts(cup)?

  16. Who’s knows, Sox go on some kind of a run maybe they can get back in the race
