While Pierce admitted that he was fortunate to even have the opportunity to go up against Paige, he wished he could have been with the White Sox the year prior when the crowds rushed to see the American League’s first African-American pitcher.
White Sox slugger Jose Abreu extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a single in the first. “I felt great and I (found) some pitches I really liked”. Samardzija, who is eligible for free agency after the season, also walked two and hit two batters in his first start since the White Sox decided to keep the right-hander at Friday’s non-waiver trade deadline. He had a sacrifice fly in New York’s five-run fourth inning and a run-scoring groundout in the seventh.
The Yankees finished the road trip at 6-4, and are back in action on Tuesday night in the Bronx for a big three-game series against the Boston Red Sox.

Good: Tigers first baseman Jefry Marte has not found a ton of success while helping fill in for the injured Miguel Cabrera, but that did not stop him from breaking out against the Orioles. “It’s a tough lineup to go through when you do that”. Drew lined out to center fielder Eaton. Shreve pitching. LaRoche struck out. 400 with a 1.238 OPS in his last seven games. Soto homered to left on a 2-0 count.
