Gavin Sheets went 3 for 5 with two doubles, a home run and five RBIs on Wednesday night.
The White Sox still lost, 7-6, in 10 innings to the Cleveland Guardians.
That's because the Sox only went 3 for 15 with runners in scoring position. All three of those hits were by Sheets, including a 3-run homer in the top of the third inning that put the Sox ahead 5-0.
But for the second straight night, the Sox blew a five-run lead. On Tuesday, they were able to overcome that and win anyway.
On Wednesday, the game went extra innings. The Sox took a 6-5 lead in the 10th on an RBI double by ... Sheets, of course.
Sheets got to third with one out on a sacrifice bunt by Kevin Pillar, but Andrew Benintendi and Martin Maldonado both struck out.
For some reason, manager Pedro Grifol summoned washed-up veteran Bryan Shaw to try to protect the one-run lead. Naturally, Shaw allowed the ghost runner to score, plus one more, and lost the game. Typical.
The Sox are 2-10. Only 150 more games of this crap to go.
