Tony La Russa Says He Didn't Know Extra-Innings Rule After White Sox Loss to Reds

Tony La Russa's return to the manager's chair with the Chicago White Sox hasn't been a smooth ride thus far.

Speaking to reporters after Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in 10 innings, La Russa admitted he doesn't know the extra-inning rules Major League Baseball has adopted after he used closer Liam Hendriks as the runner to start at second base instead of Jose Abreu.

Tony La Russa did not know that he could have used Jose Abreu at second base as the free runner instead of closer Liam Hendriks. Was informed of an amendment to rule by @JRFegan.
