Rays vs. White Sox Game Highlights (4/26/24) | MLB Highlights
it is cold and blusher but thankfully
the rain has gone away in fact for the
first time today we are seeing some late
afternoon sunshine there’s an advantage
for somebody when you’re playing under
elements nobody wants to be playing in
the cold and the wet and the rain except
for the guys that actually really want
the opportunity to take advantage of it
and it might be Chris flexen it might be
Yanni Diaz we don’t know yet that’s the
excitement of of tonight Chris flexon
appeared out of the bullpen the last two
starts for ch
sample size has been hard to judge
whether that’s helped turn things around
for him but he really needs a good
outing among others and he’s capable of
it he was one of the better pitchers in
the American League just a couple
seasons ago with Seattle Diaz as we
mentioned you know one of several Rays
they’re trying to find their way
offensively and Diaz drills one into the
left Center Gap bouncing all the way to
the wall Diaz jogs into second with a
standup double the lead off the game is
team leading sixth of the year they
think he might be close to turning the
corners little check swing bouncer
picked up by flexon and he’ll fire Devon
to get the out and on the play Diaz held
it second really spread out at the plate
and he swings and he pops it up Shallow
center field it’ll be the short stop D
young surrounding it and he makes a
catch this is popped up on the first
pitch by ESO Paredes mask off for Martin
Maldonado and the white sucks strand the
lead off double from Diaz let’s spill
the beans on Zack efin zero in it
comunes to that scoreless streak I mean
he just mentioned 12 in third Innings
without giving up a run and get the walk
out of here Zack effin does not allow
free bases he’s been one of the League’s
best pounding strikes you have to earn
everything you get off effin and there’s
a line drive in the center it’s a base
hit for Lopez now the newcomer Tommy fam
former Ray fam with a line drive in the
left couple of hops in front of randia
rosarina and back to back singles to
begin the night for the Southsiders
that’s a perfect start from Chicago’s
perspective they are 0 and 17 on the
season when a team scores first now you
have a little bit of momentum you get
back to- back singles now you want to
manufacture a run Robbie Gman now e in
the 1-1 lifted in the air at
straightaway center field Jose Siri
moving in now running it hard as the
wind gives it a push towards left Center
makes the catch nothing in two the count
to Jimenez the two- strike pitch check
swing didn’t oh pardon me that’s a
strike three called Dan BINA rung him up
and Herz down on three pitches as effin
hits his spot boy bino with a late call
right there was it me no I thought he
was I thought he bowled him up right
there making matters worse to begin this
at bat there was a pitch clock violation
that’s why it’s one two and it’s a
strike out for vaugh effin gives up the
two base hits to begin the inning but
the socks leave them both in the base
paths scoreless tie Lopez is one for one
Nikki leads off against effin he grounds
one up the first base side nice play
Diaz to to his left makes the flip to a
covering effin one gone that’ll bring up
fam who’s batting a th one for one stay
hot Pitch hit hard on the ground under
the glove of the pitcher but right to
meet at second bad throw off the glove
of the first baseman Diaz and it deflex
into the first base Dugout fam will end
up at second well fam was running hard
all the way when me gloved that ball it
hit the heel of his glove and he might
have had to make an adjustment on the
grip and then just threw too high funny
how the littlest things can upset the
rhythm of an infielder 3-1 to Gman it’s
high and that’s ball four so only the
third walk all year surrendered by effin
now you got ELO Jimenez certainly
capable of giving the White Sox the lead
pitch that’s called outside Ball Four
now that was off the plate Zack effin
has now doubled his walk total in a two-
batter span how about that 29 Innings
two walks two batters two walks B with
the bases loaded the 01 is driven in the
air out into deep right Rosario will
make the catch right near the warning
track fam will tag and score Gman as
well to
Third and it is a sack fly for Andrew
vaugh he blistered that one one nothing
rosan moves up to third so men at the
corn swing and a foul tip held on to by
pinto and effin limits damage one-
nothing socks Danny mendic against Zack
effin hard ground ball to third Fair up
the line line and dribbling in the left
Danny mendic with a lead off double for
the white socks here in the fourth just
called up from Triple A and he has an
extra base hit to begin the bottom half
of the fourth four hits now for the
White Sox just two for the race he’s a
big runner at second base D young hooks
a liner into the left field Corner mic
will come around to score nice play by
AR Ro Arena as he got over there quickly
and he’ll keep D young to a single but
it is a runs scoring hit and it’s two
nothing Well abandon the get him over
I’ll just get him in that’s what Paul D
young said it was a breaking ball that
he was too quick on some nights you’re
going to make a good pitch and it’s
going to get hit I think this inning
effin’s been a little unlucky flex’s
quietly been very very efficient 59
pitches so far he’s mixed up his pitches
flex’s using all of his pitches throw
them all for strikes another one two
three Inning on just seven pitches for
Chris flexon second hit for Danny
mending that’ll bring up Paul D Young D
young bouncing ball tough play cavero
slipped can’t get any traction with a
wet Outfield watch his right foot as he
trying to plant just slides from out of
under him you’re looking to add some
jugular runs two-run lead against Tampa
Bay is not enough two on for Maldonado
now old for his last 28 he is very due
Maldonado deep to left it is gone
that is a three-run
homer woo I bet that feels good oh
you’re not kidding especially since you
just got the monkey off his back and
said he is due you got it right there
was some anger in that swing 105 mph off
the P white socks looking for their
first shut out of the season the Rays
have yet to be shut out cavero a line
drive one hop in front Ben and tendi and
left and a one out single for Jose Cabo
swinging the ball driven fairly well the
other way to right back Rossman still
back at the wall looking up and it’s off
the wall bounding away from him for
extra bases rounding third coming home
cabero the Rays on the board in the
seventh trailing 51 get Bases Loaded if
you’re a good hitter you stay really
connected to your strik Z it forc the
issue of getting strikes first things
first he’s got to throw a strike he has
been nowhere near it that’s ball four
and Leisure has walked in a run base is
still loaded parades at the plate
there’s a strike it it’s tough to tell
in a season like this whether that’s a
bronx cheer or a real
one is a real
chair you can send him into a frenzy if
you get the punch out parades on the
ground to Third and the white sucks
wiggle out of the seventh without any
further damage done Zack hein’s night is
done this is araso second appearance
since coming up from Triple A dur Eloy
will step in Eloy sends it deep into the
night it’s a home run a two-run shot to
left and they get the two runs right
back it’s seven to2 he’s now 0 for eight
with runners in scoring position here’s
Jose Siri and he swings and grounds the
ball toward the hole it gets in a left
for a base hit rounding third coming
home Harold Ramirez the throw goes into
third and finally Jose Siri has himself
a hit and the Rays have a run and
finally a hit with runers and scoring
position it’s now a 73 game in the
eighth inning he’s shaking all the
demons off’s get off stens 2-1 to yandi
up and in and it hit his Bat and maybe
his hand too got him at 99 and here
comes Aaron Scott the trainer along with
Kevin cash oh you just cringe when that
happens and yandi is going to come right
out of the game Raz are not going to
take any chances and that is especially
worrisome baldonado comes up he hit a
three-run homer his first of the year
and he snapped an 0 for 28 in the
process Al on to another hard hit ball
this one to left and now for a base hit
and after going 0 for 28 now has hits
and back to- back at BS the bases are
loaded that’s the 12th hit to tie a
season best for the socks Here Comes
Ortega and Ortega drills this one deep
right field it will stay in the yard
Malden AO tags and the white socks tack
on another the one two kicks away and
Lopez will score and Ortega to Second
it’s nine to three take it any way they
want to provide it Curtis me with two
outs me belts one to Center for a base
hit here is Rosario to score and the
Rays get their fourth run and the last
chance extended to Jose ciero fans a bit
giddy about being present for a win
possibly swing and a miss strike
three the sock snap a seven game skid
and they start off the home stand with
their first win in a series opener
