You’ve got to love Matt Albers. He had that glorious stretch with the White Sox in 2016 with the game-winning double, and the scoreless streak, and the “like a cat!” moment. It was a fleeting stretch, sure, but glorious nonetheless. Now, as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers, he helped his old team win twice this weekend. Today, he gave up two home runs in the sixth inning, as the White Sox pulled away late to a 6-1 victory.
The game had been a pitcher’s duel to that point between Brent Suter and Dylan Covey, both throwing strikes, showing control, and scattering their few allowed hits.
