CHICAGO — Aaron Hicks has made enough physics-defying catches while stationed in center field and retrieved enough would-be home runs to appreciate the artistic body of work his counterpart created against the Yankees this week.
Adam Engel, a .217 hitter buried at the bottom of the Chicago White Sox lineup, made his mark on this series with his glove on back-to-back nights. First, Engel positioned his 6-foot-2 frame to first snatch a three-run home run away from Yankees’ first baseman Greg Bird on Monday, then he increased the level of difficulty on a ball that catcher Kyle Higashioka crushed to dead center a night later.
