2022 Game Sixty-Seven: White Sox 8, Blue Jays 7

 

a warm one

I don't know which was unlikelier, Raimel Tapia's two-run homerun in the second (off Lance Lynn!), or Cavan Biggio's two-run homerun in the ninth (off Joe Kelly!). They were certainly both pleasant. Far less pleasant, though, was the extent to which José Berríos got knocked around: six runs in four innings is pretty rough, and although he only walked one, so it's not like he was wild in that sense, he certainly lacked command, and left a lot of pitches in very hittable places, and the White Sox are a good if underperforming team. And they knocked him around. This was a one-run game that didn't really feel like a one-run game, because it was only a one-run game for like five minutes at the end.
