"The four-seamer seemed to really jump on hitters, especially when he put it at the top of the zone. The sweeper looked really sharp, particularly to the armside. That is, it looked very sharp until the fourth inning. After getting ahead in the count against Andrew Benintendi, he threw a sweeper that was below the zone but split the plate."
"Benintendi went down and got it, scooping it deep enough down the right field line to just barely clear the fence for a homer. Edgar Quero then stayed back on one of those backdoor sweepers and knocked it the other way for a single. Chase Meidroth then got a middle-middle slider and ripped it into left to give the Sox three consecutive hits. Bergert managed to clamp down and finish the inning, but Chicago led 1-0."
Kansas City rallied for 11 runs between the fifth and sixth innings en route to a 12-1 victory over Chicago. Ryan Bergert’s four-seamer and sweeper looked lively early, but a fourth-inning sequence produced a Benintendi homer and three consecutive White Sox hits to take a 1-0 lead. Kansas City remained scoreless through four innings against Aaron Civale until Salvador Perez led off the fifth with a 396-foot opposite-field homer to tie the game. Adam Frazier followed with a single, Kyle Isbel and Mike Yastrzemski reached, loading the bases and bringing up Bobby Witt Jr.
