00:02Welcome inside Guaranteed Raid Field.
00:04A little four-hour delay here, and we're looking at some interesting playing conditions for the wrap-up of this
00:10series.
00:12This weather's going to be a factor.
00:14It is sheets of swirling rain right now.
00:16They're trying to get this game in, obviously, but the field conditions are very soggy.
00:19The outfield's going to be wet.
00:21You're going to have to secure the baseball.
00:23Pitchers are going to have to keep fingers dry.
00:25Hitters trying to keep a grip on the bat.
00:26It's one of those games you've got to battle the elements.
00:28We'll see who does a better job of it.
00:30As we get set for the finale of this four-game series against the Tigers,
00:34they were fully intent on coming back and playing this here because if not,
00:38you've got to tack it on to the end of the season,
00:40and nobody wants a final game of the regular season played after the regular season is officially over.
00:47There's a look at Davis Martin on for his 27th start, 28th appearance, 141 innings in an ERA, just under
00:54four.
00:55He strikes out a lot of guys, doesn't walk too many.
00:57Davis Martin is set, and his first pitch is grounded to second base.
01:01Chase Maitrop with the throw.
01:03A nearly four-hour rain delay, but we are underway here on this Sunday finale.
01:10Glaber Torres, a veteran second baseman.
01:13Blow it by him with the slider.
01:16Good start to this game for Davis Martin.
01:18Torres retired, two gone in the first for how you leap.
01:21Fly ball to right field.
01:23Brayden Montgomery is there.
01:25A 1-2-3 first inning for Davis Martin.
01:29White Sox bats coming up.
01:31Troy Melton making his 20th start of the year.
01:34Swing and a base hit.
01:36A good start for this White Sox offense.
01:38Always putting pressure defensively as it takes that hard turn.
01:42Teal, a left-hand hitter.
01:44Swing and a foul into the mid of Valencia.
01:47That is strike three.
01:48First strikeout for Troy Melton, and there's one gone in the first.
01:52Vargas has homered in back-to-back games.
01:54An 0-2 count here to Vargas.
01:58Antonacci takes off, and he gets in there in time for the stolen base.
02:03So back-to-back Ks for Melton, and Antonacci picks up his 19th steal,
02:07and that'll bring up Murakami.
02:09Inside.
02:10That one's going to clip Murakami.
02:13And Murakami will head to first base.
02:15And that'll bring up the DH.
02:17Andrew Benintendi.
02:18Shot.
02:19Knocked down by Torkel.
02:21Will they get him at first?
02:22They will.
02:23Nice job.
02:24Way to hang with it.
02:24That was a shot.
02:26Spencer Torkelson able to knock it down,
02:28make the play to get the Tigers out of the jam.
02:31For Eduardo Valencia, sharp ground ball, single to left field.
02:34Runner on first for Max Clark.
02:37Chopper over the middle, and it's my job with the flip.
02:39Of course, Montgomery will not make the throw with the speed of Clark.
02:44Give Spencer Torkelson an opportunity here in the first inning with a man on and two outs.
02:48Runner goes on the 3-2, and Torkelson hit by the pitch on a slider up and in.
02:53So the inning continues for the left-handed hitting Brett Callahan.
02:56This one well hit in a right-center field.
02:59It is Doyle at the warning track.
03:00Now at the walls where he makes the catch.
03:03If that wind isn't blowing, that's a three-run homer.
03:06It is, and it's not.
03:08So the game is tied.
03:09So Colson is forced, and Mydroth now at first base, and that'll bring up Braden Montgomery.
03:16And Mydroth just takes off for second, and he will get there.
03:20He did that exactly right.
03:22Number one, you never try to get picked up.
03:24But also, if you do, don't get hung up in a rundown.
03:27You can't outrun the rundown.
03:29You might as well just keep on going.
03:31So it goes down as a stolen base for Mydroth.
03:34Count is full on Braden Montgomery.
03:36Full count here to Montgomery.
03:38Hits in there and passed Torkelson at first.
03:42Mydroth, he's going to score, and you can just see how wet it is in the outfield.
03:47That ball just died in front of Callahan.
03:50White Sox take a 1-0 lead.
03:52Braden, who has not compiled a lot of hits with two huge doubles the last couple of days.
03:59Great swing by Braden.
04:00One down in the fourth.
04:02That'll bring up Riley Green.
04:04The pitch.
04:06And then it's hit in the air out in the shallow left.
04:09Antonacci racing in.
04:10He has to dive, and he makes a catch.
04:13Wow.
04:14I don't know what happened there, but Montgomery and Vargas were very tentative going out,
04:18assuming Sam would get it.
04:20I think the wind just absolutely knocked it down.
04:22You're 100% correct.
04:24That got blown back toward the infield.
04:26What a great, great play by Antonacci.
04:30I mean, you can't make a better play.
04:32It's one of the best catches he's made out there in left.
04:34A swing and a line drive.
04:36Base hit.
04:36Valencia is two for two.
04:38Ball gets past Antonacci, but it's going to be a single as Doyle backed him up.
04:43Tigers have a two-out base runner for Max Clark.
04:46Pitch down and in.
04:47Ball four.
04:48Max Clark on base.
04:49Tigers two on and two out for Spencer Torkelson.
04:52It was hit by a pitch first time through.
04:53And now the payoff.
04:55Got him swinging.
04:56Big punch out for Martin.
04:58We head to the bottom of the fourth.
05:00Still 1-0 Sox.
05:02You know, in these conditions, we talked about it.
05:04Nothing routine about fielding this.
05:05Colson Montgomery went on to third, but there was just a little bobble, and that allowed Doyle to get down
05:10there with his speed.
05:11So they're at the corners for Antonacci.
05:142-2.
05:15Well, it goes from first, and that is lined into right field.
05:19Colson Montgomery, he's going to score.
05:21Doyle's got speed.
05:22He's getting waved in.
05:23The throw is cut off.
05:25A two-run double from Sam Antonacci, and the White Sox take a 3-0 lead here in the fourth.
05:33Oh, he exploited that huge gap out there in right, and it is a two-run double.
05:39Holden just got up.
05:41I don't think he's throwing more than a couple.
05:42Oh, they're going to bring a trainer out.
05:43Yeah, they are bringing a trainer out.
05:44Yeah.
05:45It is a health check.
05:47Yeah, Valencia signaled something over to the dugout, and that's when athletic training staff went out to the mound.
05:53Dan, I don't know if Troy's going to stick around in this game.
05:55Troy's going to depart this game.
05:57So unfortunate turn of events here.
05:59I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
06:01Tyler Holton will be into this ball game for the Tigers.
06:05So Troy Melton departs after three and two-thirds.
06:09As Tyler Holton comes on for the 66th time.
06:12ERA 278.
06:14He's been a busy man.
06:1571 in the third innings.
06:17And Holton says he's ready.
06:18Kyle Teal coming up.
06:20Two outs.
06:21And Kyle Teal hits this one hard.
06:23Just past the reach of Torres.
06:25And to Natchi, he will score without a throw.
06:28And the White Sox put up a three spot here in the fourth to take a 4-0 lead.
06:34Nice piece of hitting lefty on lefty.
06:36And that's RBA number 21 for Teal.
06:39Anytime you can add a run, you add a run.
06:42Outside ball four.
06:43McGonigal walks.
06:44Pushes Callahan to second.
06:45And the Tigers in business with two on and one out for Glaber-Torrez.
06:493-1.
06:50Walked him.
06:51This is what the Tigers need to get in this ball game.
06:53Hagan Smith coming in after a good at-bat by McGonigal.
06:57Made him work.
06:58Glaber did the same thing.
06:59You said at some point the team's going to get to him at some point.
07:02Why not now?
07:03Lee 0-2 this evening.
07:05Got him swinging.
07:06Big punch out for Hagan Smith and out number two.
07:10That brings up Riley Green.
07:13Broken bat.
07:14On the ground at first.
07:15Murakami keeps it himself.
07:17And the White Sox get out of the bases loaded jam.
07:20Keeping the Tigers off the board.
07:23So Montgomery on for the third time.
07:25All leading off an inning.
07:27Here's Meidroth.
07:28Meidroth turns on this one into left field.
07:31Back it goes!
07:32Get out!
07:35A two-run shot for Chase Meidroth.
07:38His 15th of the season.
07:40And the White Sox extend the lead.
07:43It's now 6-0.
07:45Boy, no bad weather conditions.
07:47Keeping that one in the ballpark.
07:49He absolutely crushed it.
07:51Six to nothing.
07:52Colson has walked twice.
07:54Singled once and scored two runs.
07:58Softly in the air to right field.
07:59Callahan's going to have to bust it.
08:01And he does!
08:02Great!
08:03Running!
08:05Diving catch for Brett Callahan.
08:07He's got to stay with it the whole way.
08:09Callahan kept tracking it.
08:10Kept tracking it.
08:11Kept tracking it.
08:12He's like, that ball keeps moving away from me.
08:14What do I got to do?
08:15Well, you got to dive.
08:16How do you keep it in the glove?
08:18Love it.
08:18Green had to hold to make sure Doyle didn't catch it.
08:21So he ends up at third.
08:23And it's a three-hit evening for Eduardo Valencia.
08:27And they have runners at first and third with one out for Max Clark.
08:31Now two-on-one-out.
08:34High in the air to center.
08:36But the wind is going to knock this down enough for Doyle.
08:41Max Clark will get the first run home, though.
08:44Sacrifice fly.
08:45Riley Green scores.
08:47Got to get on the board at some point.
08:48If you're going to take a run at it.
08:50Up and in.
08:51Torque reaches for the third time today.
08:54Two on and two out here in the eighth.
08:56Get it to within four.
08:58And it changes the whole feel of the game.
09:00Popped up.
09:01Colson Montgomery.
09:02And that will do it for this top of the eighth inning.
09:05Tigers get on the board.
09:06But the White Sox still with a five-run lead.
09:09And they're loaded with nobody out for Murakami.
09:11He takes low.
09:12And he'll get an RBI on a bases-loaded walk.
09:15It's 7-1.
09:16Infield still in.
09:17Nobody out.
09:18The batter is Gritchick.
09:20Randall Gritchick lines this one to center.
09:23As Clark with the catch.
09:24Tagging is Teal from third.
09:26And he will score standing up.
09:28White Sox make it an 8-1 lead now.
09:31The fans who stuck out.
09:34This three-hour and 50-minute rain delay now rising to their feet.
09:39It has been an incredible effort by the White Sox.
09:42The payoff from Castillo.
09:44Got him swinging.
09:46Yeah, buddy.
09:48White Sox win this series over the Tigers 8-1.
09:52The first 80 or more winning season since 2022.
09:59Well-deserved this year.
10:01But not decided at this point.
10:03So the Sox take three or four from the Tigers.
10:06Off day tomorrow.
10:08Much needed by everybody involved with this ball club.
10:11For a care week at the aptitude."
10:11And according to many�an,
