It was only the last home game of the season for the White Sox, who will close out their schedule with a six-game road trip against the Yankees and Nationals, but it felt very much like a Game 162. The White Sox drew nine walks, including two with the bases loaded, but still lost because they went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position. Meanwhile, the Padres ran out of mound visits, and the White Sox ran out of outfielders, resulting in Miguel Vargas appearing in left for an inning before Korey Lee made his professional debut out there.
It was a ramshackle affair that made you forget that one of these teams has something to play for. The White Sox look like they’re going to drift past 100 losses for a third straight season, but the Padres still have a wild card spot to secure, with hopes of an NL West title fading, but not impossible.
