MINNEAPOLIS — The Chicago White Sox entered Wednesday 0-72 this season when trailing after eight innings.
According to the Minnesota Twins telecast, the Sox had lost 205 straight in that scenario.
They found themselves down by two entering the ninth inning Wednesday against the Twins at Target Field.
Michael A. Taylor helped the Sox put that streak to an end with a two-out, two-run, go-ahead double as part of a three-run inning en route to a 4-3 victory in front of 11,904.
“Just trying to slow things down,” Taylor said of his approach in the at-bat. “I felt like I was a bit jumpy all game. Threw me a lot of spin, so tried to stay on the heater, but slow things down and just let the ball get deep.”
Taylor worked his way back from an 0-2 count to hit a 2-2 sweeper from Justin Topa down
