Losing streak is over: White Sox 4, Giants 4
Double-triple: Moncada slides in with a triple in the third, after Robert clocked one in the second. Moncada’s OPS is 1.834 so far this spring.Not that winning or losing is a big deal in spring training, but it’s still nicer not to lose, so the Chicago White Sox ending their streak of three one-run losses, with a 4-4 tie with the San Francisco Giants, is a bit of a breakthrough. A bit.
But let’s talk about the second inning, facing genuine major league pitcher Derek Holland. Now, that would be nice precursor of the regular season to come:
Yoán Moncada single (batting righty, yet — impressive, even though Holland is a reverse splits guy)
Preston Tucker single
Luis Robert triple (yes!)
