Per White Sox notes, that's the team's 30th walk in their last 6+ games. They have left 54 runners on base during that time frame.

With that one inning thrown, Davis Martin has 63 2/3 on his ledger this year. His previous single-season high was 63 1/3 innings in 2022. H/T to Josh Nelson - Sox Machine, who pointed out this fact earlier.

Benintendi with a two-out, two-strike single to score Tauchman. 2-1 Orioles in the 5th. White Sox answer immediately after the on-field, benches and dugout clearing disagreement at the end of the 4th.

The Oriole Bird literally was standing four seats away from me in the pressbox, I looked down at the computer for a minute or two, and when I looked back up, it was on the Orioles dugout. How is that possible?

Meidroth, pinch-hitting, is the go-ahead run at the plate with two outs in the 8th. Two on after Quero walks as a pinch-hitter.

Two walks for the White Sox from Bautista, who wasn't particularly overwhelming Friday but finished off the save. It's more of the same today. He looked good striking out Vargas but wasn't all that close on Tauchman or Benintendi. Robert stands in as the go-ahead run.

In between the two walks, Bautista struck out the side. Orioles win 4-2. They finish the month of May at 11-17. They haven't not had a winning month since May of 2023.
