Kettled twice. Extra chewy, extra trustworthy.
Summary
The Chicago White Sox narrowly avoided being on the wrong side of history when Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto retired the first 23 batters, threatening a perfect game. A fielding error by shortstop Mookie Betts on a grounder by Chase Meidroth in the eighth inning gave the White Sox their first baserunner. Tristan Peters then broke up both the no-hitter and the shutout with a home run in the ninth inning, though the White Sox ultimately lost to the Dodgers.
