The run put the Chicago White Sox ahead to stay, capping a weird eighth-inning comeback that helped them beat the Miami Marlins 8-7 on Saturday night.

Stanton has been essential in both the offense and defense of Miami, having led the team in home runs with 25. This is the fourth time in the last five seasons that the outfielder will miss significant action due to injuries.
On a day the Miami Marlins lost Giancarlo Stanton, likely for the season, they showed what it will take to remain in the playoff chase in their slugger’s absence. Last June, Stanton fractured his left hamate bone, limiting him to just 74 games.
After giving up two runs in the first inning, Koehler got them back when he hit a two-run single off Sale’s right foot in the fifth.
Miami Marlins’ outfielder Ichiro Suzuki recently made Major League Baseball history as he reached 3000 hits when he launched a triple (!) in the seventh inning of their.
While the Chicago White Sox could not, and should not make an attempt to point fingers concerning exactly where things have gone wrong this year, a fan can’t help but notice Chris Sale’s name has not been in the win column since a game in Houston on July 2. “Give us an opportunity to tie the game and get it right back in it”. But throughout the farewell process, the 41-year-old never officially announced his retirement and just four homers shy of 700, him returning to another team to resume the chase is plausible.
I don’t know where his head is on that, but where we are now, this team has played too well for too long. “I saw the replay, and it looked like he pulled something”. If it’s [Rodriguez], if it’s someone else, we’re going to try to find a way to make it happen. He finally limped off the field as the White Sox celebrated an 8-7 victory.
“I’m not really doing too much to help”.
“I’ve got to be at home plate for that”, Sale acknowledged. The All-Star has gone six straight starts without a win.Miami’s Tom Koehler, who had gone 3-0 with a 0.67 ERA in his past four starts, allowed six hits and three runs in six innings and left with a no-decision.Reliever Mike Dunn (3-1), who pitched a scoreless seventh inning, earned the win.
“The best part for me is I don’t have to face him with bad news every day”, manager Joe Girardi said earlier Sunday.
-New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre shortly after allowing a career high-tying seven runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings in a 12-3 rout by Tampa Bay. Jose Abreu hit a two-out RBI double in the first, and Tyler Saladino hit a two-out, two-run double in the second.
