Fiery Arizona Heat Unleashes Shocking Collapse of White Sox’s Brightest Prospects and Opening Day Stars

In the ninth, Samuel Zavala led off with an infield single back to the pitcher and advanced to second on a throwing error. One out later, it was Kyle Lodise ripping a single so hard to center that Zavala could only hop to third. But with runners on the corners and one out, José Mendoza tapped into a 6-4-3 double play to end it, mercifully, after three hours and 45 minutes.

Over in Goodyear, it was another case of an early White Sox lead, lost.

The “Opening Day lineup” for the White Sox put up some big numbers early, leading 5-1 at the game’s halfway point. But the pitching staff walked it all away, and in particular swingman Sean Newcomb was atrocious. Coming on to finish the third and pitching into the fifth, Newcomb allowed five earned runs on four hits, adding an error into the mix. But the staff as a whole ginned up seven walks against just eight Ks, keeping traffic on the paths and insisting on a Reds comeback.
