Top fan take from @jacksauer2: “SOX WIN! This was certainly an interesting game with a ton to talk about. First, Ranger Suarez. Certainly not his best game, it took him 35 pitches to get out of the first inning, but he settled in and pitched very well before being taken out. Then, by some miracle of miracles, Zack Kelly and Tyler Samaniego both threw scoreless innings. Justin Slaten with his 9th appearance of the year and still has not allowed a single run. Willson Contreras stayed hot, getting an RBI in the first to give us an early 1-0 lead and an insurance run to get us up 3-1, but the “game-winning” RBI in this one was none other than Caleb Durbin himself. Genuinely don’t know what the hell this lineup was but it was bad. The fielding in this one was amazing. Duran with a sliding catch and then a great jumping catch to preserve our 2-1 lead. And then he stepped up with a huge insurance 3-run homer to keep Chappy out of this game, he had pitched 3 of the past 4 days entering today, giving him a much needed rest”
