There’s the old phrase that a win is a win in the record column, even if the victory wasn’t the prettiest.
That’s what happened Saturday in the White Sox’s 2–1 victory against the Tigers at Guaranteed Rate Field. In the bottom of the 10th inning with the bases loaded, Tigers pitcher José Cisnero delivered a 96 mph wild pitch toward Tim Anderson that hit home plate umpire Cory Blaser directly in his face mask, sending him to the ground.
As Anderson stepped out of the way, Yoán Moncada dashed to home plate to pick up the game-winning run.

The Chicago White Sox secured one of the most bizarre walk-off wins you will ever see after a pitch clobbered home plate umpire Cory Blaser.

Judge made his picks on the new episode of the On Base with Mookie Betts podcast, where he was asked by the Dodgers star for his Mount Rushmore of Yankees greats.
Considering the many legends who’ve played for the Yankees, it stood to wonder just who Judge would select.
Starting on Saturday night, the Vegas Golden Knights and Florida Panthers will go head-to-head in a bid to win what would be their first Stanley Cup in each franchise’s history.
Whoever wins the best-of-7 series will party. Heck, the Golden Knights may already have a venue picked out. This means the beers will be flowing.
Undoubtedly, they will fill the iconic trophy’s bowl with more brews than you’d find rotting away in a full, unsold palett of Bud Light.
