Cleveland’s offense fizzled on the heels of last night’s outburst as the Indians fell to the Chicago White Sox 5-2. While some hitters punished Sox pitchers the rest of the offense stagnated.
Triston McKenzie allowed three runs in two and a third innings before yielding to the bullpen. Cleveland — shutout by White Sox starter Lucas Giolito through six — scored in the seventh and eighth innings.
Look, it’d be a lot cooler if the Indians had won, but at least Billy Hamilton stole home!
It’s getting a little bit tough to find interesting and fun ways to recap meaningless September games.
