There’s the old phrase that a win is a win in the record column, even if the victory wasn’t the prettiest.
That’s what happened Saturday in the White Sox’s 2–1 victory against the Tigers at Guaranteed Rate Field. In the bottom of the 10th inning with the bases loaded, Tigers pitcher José Cisnero delivered a 96 mph wild pitch toward Tim Anderson that hit home plate umpire Cory Blaser directly in his face mask, sending him to the ground.
As Anderson stepped out of the way, Yoán Moncada dashed to home plate to pick up the game-winning run.
