Beggars Can't Be Choosers

So, after 27 games, the White Sox finally win two games in a row and take their first series, beating the Rays 8-7 in ten innings. Be still, my beating heart. Yea for Andrew Benintendi driving in six runs, including the game-winner on a two-run walk-off homerun. Boo for manager Mickey Mouse, who insisted on starting Martin Maldonado behind the plate again; Mouse must believe in lightning striking twice. Not last night. No three-run homer again by Maldonado like on Friday. But three Rays’ baserunners did steal on him. I certainly didn’t expect to savor win no. five on the season, not after watching Andrew Vaughn butcher a play at first base with two out that set up a two-run double by Randy Arozarena (beat the runner to the bag, Andrew, don’t toss it to a pitcher late coming off the mound to cover first) and two wild pitches in the tenth inning by reliever Deivi Garcia, one of which let in the go-ahead run. You take your wins where you can get them, I guess. The question is, do the Sox take three?
