Notes & reviews

Note - If there is a discrepancy in at bats for White Sox players Cavarreta and Johnson, it could be here. TSN and White Sox scoresheet have subs in the 8th as I entered them after McGhee was taken out of the game. However, NY Times has Cavaretta hitting fourth and Johnson hitting ninth. As you can see I went with TSN and the scoresheet.
