Rays 5, White Sox 1: Snell’s great outing made the difference in Chicago
Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty ImagesOn a cool Monday afternoon in the south side of Chicago, the Rays took down the White Sox 5-1 behind yet another terrific outing from Blake Snell.
Carlos Rodon received the nod to start for the White Sox, but the young lefty was never able to get on much of a roll today.
In the first inning, Rodon allowed each of the first three Rays hitters to get on base before recording an out. With a full count, Guillermo Heredia watched ball four go by and collected his free pass to first, scoring Yandy Diaz as the first Rays run of the game. A sacrifice fly from Ji-Man Choi would plate an additional run and the Rays were off to an early 2-0 lead in the first.
