First Inning


The White Sox started strong, scoring their only run in the first inning. Curtis Mead contributed significantly by driving in this early run, showcasing his ability to capitalize on opportunities. However, despite this promising start, the Sox struggled to maintain momentum throughout the game.

Sixth Inning


The sixth inning proved decisive for Baltimore as they scored three runs. This surge was fueled by timely hits and capitalizing on pitching lapses from Chicago's bullpen. Despite efforts from pitchers like Tyler Alexander and Mike Vasil earlier in relief roles, they couldn't contain Baltimore’s offense during this critical period.


Final Innings


As both teams entered into late innings, neither could add further runs to their tally. The White Sox’s pitching staff showed resilience but ultimately couldn’t overcome earlier setbacks against an efficient Orioles lineup.
