White Sox 8, Angels 7: Waitin' til the midnight hour
Key Points:
- The White Sox overcame a three-hour rain delay and a 5-1 deficit by scoring seven runs in the seventh inning, highlighted by key hits from Tristan Peters, Andrew Benintendi, Munetaka Murakami, and Miguel Vargas.
- Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz was effective early, generating mostly ground-ball outs through six innings, but the White Sox capitalized on defensive miscues and bullpen changes in the seventh to ignite their rally.
- Reliever Osvaldo Bido pitched three crucial innings of relief after Anthony Kay, helping keep the White Sox in the game and earning the win despite Jorge Soler’s solo home run.
- The Angels managed to score multiple runs in the late innings, but defensive lapses and a costly error by Colson Montgomery in the ninth allowed the White Sox to maintain their lead and secure the victory.
- This comeback erased the largest deficit for the White Sox since 2023, showcasing resilience and timely hitting after a slow offensive start against a strong Angels pitching staff.
