The Chicago White Sox (38–33, GETTING SWEPT!) travel to Yankee Stadium for the SERIES FINALE desperately trying to AVOID COMPLETE ELIMINATION! We’re DOWN 0-2 and we’ve lost 9 CONSECUTIVE GAMES IN THE BRONX!

Paul Goldschmidt homered twice in the series! Spencer Jones hit his first Yankee Stadium home run! Ben Rice hit his 20th homer! The Yankees are 44-27 and ROLLING (9-4 since losing Aaron Judge!), and they’re HEAVY FAVORITES (-156!) to sweep us! Sean Burke (3-4, 4.15 ERA) takes the mound against Ryan Weathers (2-5, 4.36 ERA) in what could be a COMPLETE DISASTER if we lose!
