White Sox win 2-1 in 11 innings on walk-off walk
The Chicago White Sox defeated the New York Yankees 2-1 in the 11th inning after a bases-loaded walk by Tristan Peters, while both teams struggled offensively throughout the game.
Chicago’s bullpen held the New York Yankees scoreless through nine innings, and the game was decided in the 11th when Tristan Peters drew a bases-loaded walk from reliever Fernando Cruz. The walk gave the White Sox a 2-1 lead that they maintained to earn the win.
Both starters were effective after a shaky first inning. White Sox right-hander Sean Burke, who threw 27 pitches in the opening frame, settled down to record nine strikeouts over seven innings, allowing only one run. Chicago left-hander Ryan Weathers followed with seven scoreless innings, inducing ground balls for more than half of his 21 outs.
The Yankees’ offense generated several opportunities but failed to convert them. Spencer Jones singled and stole second in the fourth inning, but Jazz Chisholm Jr. was walked, and Anthony Volpe struck out on three pitches. Jasson Domínguez hit a leadoff triple in the sixth that was erased on a slide out, and later innings saw runners stranded without scoring.
In the top of the tenth, the Yankees broke the deadlock when Grisham singled home a run after a disputed double-play call. However, New York could not add another run, and a subsequent intentional walk set up the walk-off situation.
After the walk-off walk, the Yankees will travel to Chicago to face the Cubs, with Will Warren slated to start for New York and Shota Imanaga for Chicago.
