On defense, the Yankees were flawless with no errors recorded during play. This clean defensive sheet contributed to limiting Chicago to just one run throughout nine innings. The bullpen also played its part efficiently; when called upon, they maintained control and prevented any potential rallies from taking shape.


The Chicago White Sox struggled to find momentum against New York's pitchers. They managed six hits but only translated these into one run early in the game. Brad Keller took responsibility for this loss on behalf of Chicago after allowing multiple runs during his time on mound which ultimately proved too much for his team to overcome.
