The White Sox faced a difficult opener with only two hits, including a two-run home run from Luis Robert Jr. The starting pitcher, Tyler Alexander, showed effort with 3 ⅓ innings of work despite limitations. Cleveland hit well, including a significant home run from veteran Carlos Santana. The nightcap had fans returning to the park for the Mark Buehrle statue reveal, emphasizing the importance of the event regardless of the team's performance.
The opener was an abominable game by the offense, which struck for two hits. At least one of them counted, as Luis Robert Jr. clubbed a two-run shot in the second.
Sadly, there was one more home run left in the game, and it came from the wrong side. For a guy who probably shouldn't be on a major league roster, Tyler Alexander worked an admirable 3 ⅓ innings.
In Alexander's first full frame, trouble got a-brewin' quick, a Nolan Jones single two outs later yielding to Carlos Santana, all 68 years of him, delivering a whack-a-mole swing.
The nightcap saw faithful fans have to shuffle out and back into the park, hopefully in time for the Mark Buehrle statue reveal!
