Bundy strikes out Moncada on a 3-2 change up to end the top of the first.

So, ugh, kinda looks like the White Sox went a little overboard with the Eloy tribute. I mean, the injury was brutal, but he’s not dead!

Bottom 1

Lucas Giolito is locked in. Made David Fletcher look silly striking out on a change up.

Two in a row. Sit down Shohei Ohtani. Another change up.

Holy shit! Lucas strikes out the side, capping off the first with a big whiff from Mike Trout.

Our ace is FILTHY pic.twitter.com/9UZt3w89eq

Score: White Sox 1, Angels 1

And that’s it. Tony La Russa goes to the pen. Codi Heuer in for Giolito.

A four-pitch walk for Trout.

Rendon singles and the Angels have the tying and go-ahead runs on base. Upton, who already has one run driven in, is up.

Great night for Moncada, who gets on base for the third time with a walk.

Grandal grounds out to Mayers.

Score: White Sox 3, Angels 2

Bottom 8

Aaron Bummer on the bump to face the top of the Angels batting order.

Bad luck to start the inning, as Fletcher reaches base after a come backer glances off the glove of Bummer. Most likely an out if the ball goes through untouched.

Oh boy. Madrigal with a bad throw to second that pulls Anderson off the bag. E4 and now Trout is up with two on and no one out.

Nothing going right for the White Sox. Grandal can’t handle a pitch, which allows Fletcher to go to third. Ohtani stays at first. Passed ball called on Grandal.

Trout makes the Sox pay. Single to left and it’s tied 3-3. Rendon up with runners at first and second, still no outs.

Huge strikeout by Bummer. Rendon swings through an inside slider.

What a battle between Bummer and Upton. The 11-pitch plate appearance ends with a walk to load the bases. There was a brutal missed call on what was a clear strike early in the at-bat. Not looking great, but Pujols is a great double play candidate.

Bummer gets a ground ball, but it’s a high chopper to third and Moncada only has one play at first to get Pujols. Angels lead 4-3, runners at second and third with two outs.

Matt Foster now in for the Sox.

Moncada throws out a hustling Iglesias to end the eighth.

Score: White Sox 3, Angels 4
