White Sox hang on for dear life, 7-6
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Gavin Sheets’ first major league game was chock full of adventure.For the second time in a row, the White Sox emerged from their offensive torpor to score seven runs. For the second time in a row, they let their opponent right back into the game. And for the second time in a row, they hung on for the win, which came after what seemed like three days.
This one looked bad at the start, when Lucas Giolito gave up two runs to the Twins on his first four pitches, a Luis Arráez single and Josh Donaldson 111 mph EV rocket to the bullpen. But it turned out that if Giolito was going to have a bad night, Kenta Maeda could do him one worse. Much worse.
