Bo Naylor’s sac fly walks it off for the Cleveland Guardians in a 7-6 win over the White Sox!
Bo Naylor pinched hit in the 9th inning with the Cleveland Guardians and White Sox tied at six and hit a sac fly that led to a 7-6 walk-off win. The Guardians are now 27-9 at home, 53-30 overall, and are showing their dominance in the AL Central, leading by a significant six games over the Minnesota Twins.
Andrés Giménez opened the inning single off Michael Kopech (2-7), went to second on a groundout and took third on a wild pitch by the right-hander, who snagged his cleat on the mound while making his delivery.
Naylor, who has bumped his average over .200 by hitting .304 in his last 15 games, then lifted a 3-2 pitch deep enough to score Giménez as center fielder Luis Robert Jr., playing more shallow than usual, didn’t bother making a throw home.
Naylor said he wasn’t surprised Robert didn’t try to get Giménez.
“A guy like Gimi with elite speed, it’s definitely going to be a tough play,” said Naylor, who had a walk-off hit against the White Sox earlier this season. “But I knew that once I got it up there, I had all the confidence in my guy to make it there.”
Robert, who hit a two-run homer and drove in four runs, said he had no chance of getting Giménez | https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap/_/gameId/401569745
