Rangers vs. White Sox Game 2 Highlights (8/28/24) | MLB Highlights

The action is guaranteed. Great field. It is game two of a three game series tonight between the Texas Rangers and the Chicago White Sox. Bring them out. Here comes Matt Foster taking the ball his first start of the season. Not sure how many innings he's going to go tonight, but it will be a bullpen game here for the White Sox on the first pitch under way out. Number one, Corey Seeger is next. He had two hits in game one, a run scored and a run batted in and he rips that ball out to the alley in right field, that one's down and will be extra bases and Seger can Cruz to second with a one out double and we are just two pitches into this game. Josh Smith is next. He didn't play at all in game one. Here's a swing by smith and a blistering liner up the middle for a base hit. It gets out there so quickly that Seeger has to stop at third and the Rangers have runners at 1st and 3rd with one out for Adolis Garcia here in the top of the first. This would be a very big out. You're dealing with a guy that does strike out quite a bit in garcia Slider drops off the table strikeout number one, very good pitch and a big strikeout four pitch walk loads him up for Josh Young early jam for matt Foster as he now faces bases loaded to get the final out in the first inning. Young hits the first pitch in the air to right center and deep. Robert at the track makes the catch. Rangers leave them loaded. We head to bottom of the first is Jack Leer, 24 years old, his fourth major league start. There's his proud Papa Outer and here's his 31 and it's high and that's a leadoff walk like so many hard throwers, especially young ones. If they're a little off in the game early, it's because they're missing high and he is, he's missing high with the heat fouls one and we've got catcher on Carson Kelly. So robert will head to first two on nobody out for Benintendi. Jack Lighter would like to do over here and his catcher, I'm sure not real happy with himself. Sox have two on nobody out. Some trouble brewing for the young Jack Lighter here in the first inning swinging a blast out to right center that's going to split the alleyway. Lopez will score Roberts right behind him. It's a two run double for Benintendi and just like that. The Sox have a first inning lead. Still looking to retire his first hitter, andrew Vaughn. The bat gets him on 99 up and Vaughn can't catch up to it. That's the first strikeout of the night. So gavin sheets now and he got him swinging, got him on the slider and that's back to back strikeouts now for life. This is a good way to bounce back and it is Lenin Sousa coming up right now, swung on in line to left center field on the run to make the catch is Leo. And after one inning, it's the white Sox two and the Rangers nothing Sox grabbing the lead on a two run double by andrew Benintendi lighter to Dominic Fletcher down in the left center. It's a base hit again going the other way. He's been doing that a lot here on the home stand. A leadoff hit that brings up Chuckie Robinson slide step by ladder in the pitch is crunched into center for a base hit in front of Chuckie Robinson with a one out single two on and back to the top and Lopez runners at 1st and 2nd with one out. Chicago ahead here 2 to 0. The 32 swing and a miss he struck it out. He got him with a slider that had some pretty good movement on it. So Lopez is the second out of the inning. That's the third strikeout tonight for Jack Lighter and it brings up Lewis Robert Fletcher is at third Robinson at second two men out of the inning swinging a high fly ball into center Leoti going back, he's got room. He stops shy of the track and makes the catch to get robert for the final out in the inning. Gets out of trouble. Two white sox Sammy Peralta out for a second inning of work. There's nobody throwing behind him in the white sox bullpen, Nathaniel Lowe will lead it off in the two old pitch bounced over the mound and threw into center field base hit. That was in a tough spot. Lopez and Sosa got face to face and it was just kind of awkward. Nobody knew who, who's going to take it. And so low gets a base hit. Young flew out to center field in the first inning. He's zero for one little broken bat. Well by the mound charging in the by Sousa, everybody is safe and it looked for a moment like he was thinking about maybe I'll get it and tag Lowe but he didn't get anybody. So nothing positive from that. And Sosa had the right idea. He just made an error. The rangers have to take advantage of these mistakes. This could easily be bases empty in two outs. So two misplayed infield grounders give the rangers runners at 1st and 2nd and nobody out trailing two, nothing for length. Wyatt a ball from. So the rookie takes advantage on the very next pitch and the Rangers in front 3 to 2, a three run. Jimmy Jack for Wyatt Langford, his eighth home run of the year. He has turned the game around Rangers three white sox two and that's when it really hurts a home run coming after the big deep breath there for Jack Lighter as he goes to work here in the fifth inning, 32. Rangers on top chopper to the right side and Luis Robert Junior get a hit to start off his bottom of the fifth inning. Mike Maddox is going out to talk to lighter with Andrew Benintendi come to the plate. He has had a very creditable outing so far over there with nobody out. The batter is Benin, 31 is outside and he walk on, nobody out. And here comes Bruce Bo out of the ranger dugout. So Leer cannot be the winner today. He could be the loser if these two runners score that would be on Jose Urias watch and there are runners at 1st and 3rd with two outs for Lenin Sousa centerfield, Sosa will tie this ballgame here in the fifth inning, an RB I single RB I number 22 and he got a sinker. It was out over the plate and grilled it right back up the middle. Sosa with the RB I game tire. So runners at 1st and 2nd 2 men out Lain Sosa coming up here with an opportunity to give Chicago the lead. Last time up Lain Sosa was able to tie the game at three in the fifth inning. It's popped up high in the air. Kelly is off with the mask still on the dirt circle and the ball lands in fair territory and out on the play is Sosa played. Umpire adam Beck is saying Sosa interfered with Kelly's ability to get to that ball. So Sosa is out and an argument here ensuing between interim manager Sizemore and adam back and the inning is over ninth inning. We go with Justin Anderson on the mound for the Sox trying to keep this game tied. If you're anderson, this is the guy you got to go after. You do not want to see the top of the lineup grounds one hard up the middle. It's a base hit two out single for taveras here in the ninth in a tie ball game. So he keeps the inning alive and turns it over to the top three balls one straight the pitch. Well, four, it is up to Corey Seager. Rangers have two men out there and their best hitter, one of the best hitters in the league coming up. That is in the air short, center field could be tough on and he can get it. Tara scores and the Rangers take the lead on the bloop to center field fourth hit of the night for Seager and it's four to three new pitcher in the ballgame. It is andrew Chafin who's on for the 54th time. His er a, a touch below 3.5. Travis Jankowski goes to play left field and the Sox need a pair here in this inning with base hits off the south pod Chafin and that will bring up andrew Vaughn. You know, we talk about it and we make sure that everybody is aware, they haven't come back to win a game this year yet. The 12 field that's trouble Jankowski go to, he brings the game you just saw major league theory right there. Unbelievable. Take a bow. Travis Jankowski. He lives for that. It's Grant anderson now right on right here against Lenin Sosa, two outs. Ninth inning bases loaded. And that's a fly ball, center field ball game over what a win and what a way to win it with the catch by Travis Jankowski. Unbelievable as the Rangers take both games and Grant Anderson gets his first career save.
