The Chicago White Sox led by one in the seventh inning Friday, but the Cleveland Indians had a runner on second and the dangerous José Ramírez at the plate.
Sox reliever Aaron Bummer got behind in the count 2-0 before getting two called strikes. Ramírez fouled off the next two pitches and took a ball, running the count full.
After Ramírez fouled off the eighth pitch of the at-bat, Bummer won the battle on the ninth pitch, striking out Ramírez swinging on a slider.
“Every day that we have is an opportunity to get better and help us be in a better spot moving forward into the rest of the season,” Bummer said Tuesday.
