White Sox 9, Giants 4: Floodgates open in fourth
Sox Machine • • sports
Key Points:
- The White Sox scored all nine runs in a single fourth inning against the Giants, capitalizing on two hit-by-pitches and multiple defensive errors despite only five hits in the inning.
- Trevor McDonald’s wildness and San Francisco’s miscues fueled the rally, including a costly misthrow by infielder Luis Arraez that allowed an extra run.
- Davis Martin earned the win with a 7-1 record, pitching deep into the game despite allowing three earned runs, while the bullpen enjoyed a second day of rest.
- Outside the fourth inning, the White Sox offense was largely ineffective, going 0-for-24 with four walks, highlighting their reliance on that big inning for scoring.
- The nine-run inning was the White Sox’s largest scoring frame since May 2023 and the biggest single-inning scoring effort accounting for all their runs since 2007.
