On a night when most of the White Sox lineup continued to struggle, a recent call-up from Charlotte produced all of its offense with one swing.
When outfielder Luis Robert went down with Covid-19, infielder Jake Burger was called up from Charlotte with this sort of moment in mind, a designated hitter assignment against a left-handed starter. And Burger delivered with a three-run homer on a 67-mph 0-2 pitch from 42-year-old lefty Rich Hill in the White Sox’ 3-1 win against the Red Sox Wednesday at Guaranteed Rate Field. It was one of five hits for the Sox (22-21).
