The White Sox managed to secure 5 hits throughout the game. Their most productive inning came in the fifth when they scored all three of their runs. This surge was highlighted by a triple that brought in two runs, providing a brief spark for the home team. Despite this effort, they were unable to maintain momentum and failed to score in subsequent innings.


Chicago's pitching staff had mixed results. The starters performed admirably, allowing no runs over six innings and striking out six batters while maintaining an earned run average (ERA) of 0.0 for this game. However, the bullpen struggled significantly during their time on the mound. They allowed five earned runs on five hits and two walks across just under three innings pitched.

Baltimore's offense was relatively quiet until an explosive eighth inning where they scored all five of their runs on four hits including three home runs that ultimately decided the game's outcome. Dillon Tate secured his second win of the season for Baltimore while Cionel Pérez recorded his first save.


Defensively both teams were solid with no errors committed throughout nine innings of play.
