White Sox Blown by Crow-Armstrong Grand Slam | MLB News

The White Sox suffered a crushing loss to the Cubs, thanks to a baffling decision to walk Pete Crow-Armstrong with the bases loaded and two outs in the 10th — leading to a walk-off grand slam. Earlier, a sloppy throw at third gave the Cubs the lead, and late-game walks and a single tied things up. Manager Will Venable defended the pitch, sticking to his philosophy, but critics question whether a rookie pitcher should’ve faced a hot MVP candidate. Meanwhile, the Cubs smartly avoided Munetaka Murakami earlier, walking him and getting outs on the next two batters. It’s a tough lesson for this young team — one they’ll hope to forget fast.
