White Sox Routed by Orioles Again

However, the potent Baltimore lineup could only be held at bay for so long. The Orioles got even in the fifth when Adam Frazier singled to score Austin Hays, who led off the inning with a base hit and advanced to third on Ramon Urias's single.

No Relief, No Offense

Tanner Banks relieved Scholtens in the sixth after Ryan Mountcaste's infield single and recorded the last two outs. Banks got the first out of the seventh, retiring all three hitters he faced. Aaron Bummer recorded the second out, but the O's rallied for three runs on Anthony Santander's double. Bummer allowed a single to Ryan McKenna before walking Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Hederson.

When It Rains, It Pours

Bryan Shaw pitched the eighth inning and got tagged for five runs on six hits. The veteran reliever recorded only one out before giving way to Lane Ramsey. The towering rookie induced a double-play ground ball off Mountcastle's bat to end the inning.

The White Sox managed to score a couple of runs in the ninth, with back-to-back-to-back singles by Eloy Jimenez, Yoan Moncada, and Andrew Vaughn plated a run. Oscar Colas grounded out to score Moncada, and Lenyn Sosa followed with a base hit. However, recently called-up catcher Korey Lee hit into a game-ending double play when he flew out to center, and Sosa was caught off first base.

“He thought that ball was going to land, but, again, I think (first base coach Daryl Boston) has already instructed him we are going base to base here,” White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said. “I think he thought that ball was going to fall in front of the center fielder.”
