The White Sox did a lot of walking in the eighth and ninth innings against the Yankees on Tuesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field – and then they celebrated a walk-off victory.
With the Sox down a run, Yankees reliever Dellin Betances walked Kevan Smith and Alen Hanson and hit Yolmer Sanchez with a pitch. Jose Abreu’s two-run single to left field with two out then gave the Sox a 4-3 victory to halt a four-game losing streak.
It was the third walk-off hit of Abreu’s career and first since April 2016, and he said afterward it was much needed for a team that had hit a rough patch.
