What was the outcome of the White Sox game against the Royals?

Rahimi Harrison-Grody 0:00

Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Midday's Tindall 2. On Chicago Sports Radio, 104.3 The Score. 1-2. In the air to right field. It is Derrick Hill chasing. Foul territory. Ball game. Sox come from behind and win it with a Derrick Hill home run in the eighth. When they won their 20th game in 24 and 25, it was in June, this team is making improvements. That is John Schrippen on the call. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. And yeah, you could say that Derek Hill performed like the name of that song because for the second time in a pinch hit situation, he comes out and hits a home run after the Sox had had a drought. And hadn't had a pinch at home run since 2024 when he broke through the other day. Again, he helps the White Sox come through.

And on May 12th, the Sox get their 20th win. And they beat the Kansas City Royals in a comeback that was fun to watch on the south side. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. And...

How did Derrick Hill's performance impact the game?

Rahimi Harrison-Grody 1:13

This is just adding, I think, to the drama of what we're going to see this weekend at Crosstown. The Sox had one job. See who you are against the Royals. You've got this series before you face the Cubs. Game one, check.

Unknown 1:25

Yeah, and I'm looking for a 6-3 homestand.

What improvements have the White Sox made this season?

Unknown 1:29

And that's aggressive, right? Considering the Cubs are on the back end of that homestand.

Rahimi Harrison-Grody 1:33

That is very aggressive. But who's stopping you?

Unknown 1:36

That's the question. Who's stopping you? And right now, the White Sox, who notoriously have stopped themselves on many occasions over the last three years in putting together those 100 lost seasons, that's been an issue. But you understand with this, with that win last night, they improved to 7-5 in one-run games this season. Last year, 15-36 in one-run games. And they are combined 47-95 over the previous three seasons in one-run games. That's very, very bad. And the idea now that they can win not just one-run games, but they can do it different ways. They can hold on to a one-run lead. They can come back when they're down. And they can break up a tie game with a game-winning home run in the bottom of the eighth, like Derrick Hill did.

Unknown 2:26

It's a different era right now for the White Sox, who feel like since that 7-14 start, nothing but up. You know, and Derrick Hill, that's the headline, man. But the chase, Mydroth... three-run homer in this game where he was just do a leap of levitating after that like just kind of floating through the dugout that was what a game what a game for the White Sox last night entertainment it sucked that the Royals in the sixth inning come right back and tie the game scoring the three to tie it at five but it was awesome my big thing is is like it's fun to think about the White Sox competing in this division it's fun to think about the White Sox potentially winning the division but I just want to see that record read 500, man.

Unknown 3:11

That's really what I want to see. Just visually to see the White Sox. If they win tonight, if Noah Schultz can take down the veteran Seth Lugo tonight, the White Sox record would read 21-21. Blackjack. That is what I am looking for from the White Sox. Baby steps, man. Think about it. There have been three torturous seasons for the Chicago White Sox the previous three years. So just give me 500, and then we'll talk about the rest later.

Rahimi Harrison-Grody 3:40

I mean, think about what you just said. If Noah Schultz and the White Sox can take down Seth Lugo, Seth Lugo, who was basically the star outside of Adio Henio Suarez of our stalking segment last year, Candidates We Wanted the Cubs to Trade For at the Deadline. lugo famously signs that extension right around there made himself a lot of money he should he deserved it he's had some really consistent years but think about that comment and and if we had said that last year at this time would we have even believed ourselves no and that's how that's how it shows the progress that the white socks have made in such a short amount of time after being in the mud to be able to flip it like this even now this is incredibly encouraging

Unknown 4:23

Just to know that they were 1-5 and, again, 7-14.
