"The Sox have already secured the series win against the Guardians (phew!), but they've faced adversity along the way: Garrett Crochet had an uncharacteristic collapse during yesterday's top of the sixth, and our beloved Roman Anthony exited the game with a back injury that has since landed him on the IL. Anthony's out of the lineup for the foreseeable future and it's a bullpen day."
"Every single win matters right now with just how tight the AL wildcard looks-and so does every single loss. Will the offense stay hot against Guardians pitching? Can the bullpen get the job done? Or will Anthony's absence-and the lack of a starting pitcher-doom the game? The offense fully pulled their weight yesterday, so let's hope they can do it again."
The Sox secured the series win against the Guardians despite in-game setbacks. Garrett Crochet experienced an uncharacteristic collapse in the top of the sixth, forcing bullpen work. Roman Anthony exited with a back injury and has been placed on the injured list, removing him from the lineup for the foreseeable future. The team is using a bullpen day instead of a traditional starter. Each result carries weight due to the tight AL wildcard race, making every win and loss consequential. Questions remain about the offense maintaining production against Guardians pitching and whether the bullpen can cover the missing starter's innings.
