In a true slugfest fashion, the Chicago White Sox overcame an early deficit to take down the Tampa Bay Rays 11-9, securing their second consecutive series win. It wasn’t an easy victory by any means, but the Good Guys emerged, complete with a five-run fifth, for their second series win in a row. Rookie Kyle Teel went four-for-five at the dish, but it was the other rookie, Colson Montgomery, who stole the show with five RBI, including a go-ahead, game-tying three-run homer.
The night, unfortunately, started out ugly for the South Siders. Jonathan Cannon was shaky in the first inning as the Rays came out swinging.
