A Heart-Stopping Moment in the White Sox vs. Guardians Game: Luis Robert Jr.’s Single Lifts Hopes, But a Costly Mistake Deflates Them
On Tuesday night, the White Sox staged a comeback against the Guardians. The game was tied 6-6 in the seventh inning when Luis Robert Jr. singled to center field, scoring Nicky Lopez and Lenyn Sosa.
However, in the bottom of the ninth inning, things began to unravel for the White Sox. Andrés Giménez started off the inning with a single against Michael Kopech. He moved to second base after Tyler Freeman grounded out to first base. Then Kopech made a mistake while pitching to Bo Naylor, causing a wild pitch that allowed Giménez to advance to third base.
Naylor then hit a sacrifice fly to Luis Robert Jr. in center field, who hesitated to throw to home plate, allowing Giménez to score the walk-off run. After the game, Grifol acknowledged that Robert Jr. had no play to make on the final hit. Chuck Garfien and Ozzie Guillen analyzed the strange ninth inning on the White Sox Postgame Live show.
