Summary
The White Sox took a hard hit in their latest loss to the Pirates, dropping their playoff magic number to 13 while staying one and a half games ahead of Houston for the coveted second seed. The game’s drama peaked in the seventh with a benches-clearing moment at second base — thankfully, no punches were thrown. Pittsburgh’s bullpen game, anchored by Davis Martin’s five innings and a late three-run explosion against Sean Newcomb, sealed the win. Individually, Munetaka Murakami broke an eight-strikeout streak with a walk, while Colson Montgomery added to his 201-strikeout season. A loaded bases situation ended in heartbreak when a hard-hit ball was snagged, leading to an unassisted double play — a frustrating end as rivals fell behind and the Sox stayed stuck in the mix.
