2023 Game Twenty-Three: Blue Jays 5, White Sox 2

 

home-run hero Cavan Biggio

Cavan Biggio, well-known for struggling against good fastballs (it's been a problem!), was probably as surprised as anyone when Lance Lynn, who in my mind throws nothing other than good fastballs, made a mistake with the slider microgenre (it grows more macro with each passing day it seems!) known as "the sweeper" in the Blue Jays four-run fourth inning. Cavan sure parked it! Lynn brought his Ricky-from-Trailer-Park-Boys energy to his postgame reflections on the moment, and was not thrilled about it. It was all the Blue Jays needed (though not all they got!) as Chris Bassitt had another good outing, pitching into the seventh and allowing just the two runs in so doing. The White Sox are just brutal so far this year, with their rotation underperforming expectations and their two best batters hurt. As I continue to have no real problem with the White Sox, this continues to feel like a shame.
