Saladino extends White Sox walk-off magic vs. Cubs
- Updated: July 26, 2016
CHICAGO — The White Sox won Round 1 of the 2016 Crosstown Cup in walk-off fashion, 5-4, Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field. It was the third straight win overall for the South Siders, who lost a four-run lead but won it on Tyler Saladino’s single to center to score J.B. Shuck, who singled to open the frame. It was also the White Sox third straight walk-off victory.
With Nate Jones and David Robertson out of action due to recent usage, the Cubs scored two in the ninth against Matt Albers and Dan Jennings to tie the game. Anthony Rizzo delivered the game-tying single.
Miguel Gonzalez started for the White Sox and allowed two runs on seven hits over 6 2/3 innings, striking out eight and walking two. His only blemish came in the seventh when Miguel Montero doubled and Javier Baez homered.
But that uprising cut the lead in half. The White Sox grabbed a 1-0 lead in the third on Adam Eaton’s run-scoring single against Jake Arrieta and took control in the sixth by really making Arrieta work. Tim Anderson struck out on a 10-pitch at-bat, followed by Melky Cabrera’s walk and Jose Abreu’s single. Todd Frazier then connected on an 0-1 pitch after Justin Morneau struck out, giving him 29 homers for the season.
