The White Sox<\/a> and Giants<\/a> kept the game low-scoring and close all evening, which in turn made it harder for me to keep my eyes open. And all for nothing, as it ended in a tie. Here is the breakdown for a mostly uneventful game:<\/p>\n

The first run Trevor McDonald has allowed this spring went to Lenyn Sosa, giving the Good Guys an early lead.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Cannon stepped in for Ryan Borucki in the second, after Borucki had only fired off seven pitches. The Giants put Cannon to work with long at-bats, and he managed to give up a walk and a hit in the second.<\/p>\n

Derek Hill interrupted what was likely a wonderful interview with Ryan Walker with a solo home run to further insult McDonald\u2019s decent Spring Training run.<\/p>\n

Cannon battled with his command and issued back-to-back walks in the third, but got Rafael Devers to ground into an inning-ending double play with the White Sox up 2\u20130. During the extended frame, Brooke Fletcher shared an update on Brooks Baldwin.<\/p>\n

The Sox had some luck with a walk and a single after two quick outs in the fourth, but Tristan Peters ended the small rally with a ground out. Matt Chapman singled to center field to kick off the bottom of the inning, and with one out, Bryce Eldridge drew a walk. Jared Kelley came in with two on and two outs, only to immediately give up a hit to Will Brennan, cutting the lead in half and putting runners on the corners. Thankfully, Casey Schmitt was called out on strikes to prevent further damage.<\/p>\n

Matt Gage replaced McDonald for the fifth. After two quick outs, Luisangel Acu\u00f1a beat out a throw to first for a single, but Miguel Vargas struck out after losing a challenge to end the inning.<\/p>\n

Cannon was back on the mound for the bottom of the fifth. With two strikes, Victor Bericoto opened with a knock, and with a White Sox blooper in center field, Harrison Bader singled. The Good Guys tried to make up for it with a double play, but Chapman drove in the second run for the Giants, making it 2-2. The RBI single chased Cannon out of the game again, with Eric Adler replacing him. While Willy Adames worked up a full count, pinch runner Christian Koss got picked off to end the inning.<\/p>\n

Sosa continued his hot night with a two-out single, but was caught stealing for a quick top half of the sixth. Jedixson Paez stepped in to pitch for the Sox in the Giants\u2019 half of the inning. The righthander secured back-to-back Ks working a battle leading to a full count with Daniel Susac, who picked up a walk in the fight. Paez bounced right back when Jerar Encarnacion flew out to right.<\/p>\n

With one out in the top of the seventh, Peters managed a triple, Hill walked, and William Bergolla Jr.\u00a0singled on a soft bunt to plate Peters. The Good Guys took the lead back, 3-2, right before Acu\u00f1a promptly hit into a double play.<\/p>\n

Darren Baker, the son of Dusty Baker, worked a full-count walk to open the ninth and quickly swiped second and third. Another Baker \u2014 Dru (no relation) \u2014 followed with a walk and stole second as well. Josh Breaux then drew a walk to load the bases with one out. Unfortunately, in the most White Sox fashion, Mario Camilletti bounced into a rally-killing double play to strand them all.<\/p>\n

In the bottom of the frame, Eric Haase walked and was replaced by Jared Oliva, who promptly stole second and third. A sac fly from Jerar Encarnacion tied the game at 3-3. With two outs, Parks Harber was hit by a pitch, but McCray ended the game with a ground out.<\/p>\n

No winners, no losers, just an anticlimactic tie. But just like Spring Training, this game is meaningless, and the points don\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The White Sox and Giants kept the game low-scoring and close all evening, which in turn made it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621354,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2379],"tags":[5,39781,1395,710,9406,138,49,2561,7885,61398,44549,8220,14280,58184,5759,162,365,59032,5794,6646,379,12022,4154,4,863,12423,946,852,48585,30019,396,2562,9645,998,103],"class_list":["post-621353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-chicago-white-sox","tag-baseball","tag-brooke-fletcher","tag-brooks-baldwin","tag-bryce-eldridge","tag-casey-schmitt","tag-chicago","tag-chicago-white-sox","tag-chicagowhitesox","tag-christian-koss","tag-daniel-susac","tag-darren-baker","tag-derek-hill","tag-double-play","tag-eric-adler","tag-eric-haase","tag-giants","tag-harrison-bader","tag-jared-oliva","tag-jonathan-cannon","tag-lenyn-sosa","tag-matt-chapman","tag-matt-gage","tag-miguel-vargas","tag-mlb","tag-rafael-devers","tag-ryan-borucki","tag-ryan-walker","tag-the-giants","tag-trevor-mcdonald","tag-tristan-peters","tag-white-sox","tag-whitesox","tag-will-brennan","tag-will-venable","tag-willy-adames"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
