As a general rule, spotting a 4-0 lead in the first inning to the best team in your league is not a desirable strategy. But if it works, it works, and it did for the White Sox this afternoon.
Dylan Cease was very much Bad Dylan at the start. The culprit was his breaking stuff, which the Orioles were sitting on, ceding four hits and four runs in the first inning — an inning he only escaped thanks to a baserunning blunder. But then the Sox went deep, tying the game in the second on two-run shots by Andrew Vaughn and Oscar Colás, the latter being by far the more impressive, at 108.
