The White Sox were swept in the Bronx, and just like the series against the Yankees in Chicago where they dropped three out of four, they had a chance of winning two of the games.
In this case, those two games took the decisive turn when White Sox defenders couldn’t quite commit to a difficult play. On Tuesday, it was Michael A. Taylor pulling up on a fly he probably should have laid out for — two outs in the ninth inning of a tie game — and then spiking his throw home. Tonight, it was Curtis Mead matadoring a Giancarlo Stanton grounder with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. A potentially fieldable ball instead turned into a three-run double, and a 3-1 White Sox lead into a 4-3 Yankees advantage.
