Tony La Russa’s team will be without their best hitter for some time, but the offense showed they can still score runs with a different approach.
“This was one of the best offensive nights we’ve had, so we didn’t miss anybody,” La Russa said. “I give credit to the guys who played. They gave great at-bats for nine innings.”
The White Sox didn’t rely on just one player to carry the load, even though Andrew Vaughn did most of the damage with a 4-5 night that included a home run. The team got contributions throughout the order, from guys who are expected to hit well一 like José Abreu一 to guys further down the card一 like Reese McGuire and Danny Mendick.
It wasn’t just the team effort that helped, however. Many hitters were able to work deep counts, which gave them the opportunity to see more pitches, while driving up starter Kevin Gausman’s pitch count in the process. The hitters put together eight five-plus pitch at-bats, and two nine-plus pitch at-bats, forcing Gausman to grind a bit more than he’s used to. That’s also way more than the average 3.81 pitches/plate appearance that the White Sox saw heading into Tuesday’s game.
