A Simple Formula

Pitching, hitting, defense—do that, and you win games. White Sox 7 Twins 3. Davis Martin had another pretty good start, pitching five innings of two-run ball. For once, the bullpen didn’t collapse, and the defense avoided making any errors while turning a double play. Davis aided his cause by scattering five hits and walking one Twin while striking out six. He also picked a runner off of first. More, please. Ditto the hitting, where Colson Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a grand slam. Miguel Vargas chipped in with a double, a run and an RBI on a 2-for-3 night, a performance slightly better than The Enigma’s. Luis Robert Jr. went 2-for-4 with a solo shot and his 33rd stolen base of the year. Why can’t they play like this all the time? I guess that’s like asking, who wrote the book of love?
