The White Sox wore the 1970s red pinstripe throwbacks last season. This season — on home Sundays — they’re wearing this sweet getup:
Time to get Luzinski. #WhiteSox to wear these for Sunday home games this yr. 30th anniversary of ’83 division winners twitter.com/EricFisherSBJ/…

Hoping like crazy that Baines is wearing his originals from 1983. Also hoping that, contra Fisher, no one gets any of these near Greg Luzinski. That was not pretty:
The Yankees threatened early against the Twins in the top of the first inning of Monday night’s game in Minnesota. DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Judge drew leadoff walks Martín Pérez, bringing up slugger Edwin Encarnación. Encarnación battled Pérez, ultimately rolling over on the ninth pitch, a change-up. Third baseman Luis Arraez gobbled it up and stepped on the third base bag, then fired to Jonathan Schoop at second base for the second out. Schoop got the ball over to Miguel Sanó at first base just in time to complete the 5-4-3 triple play.
It’s the second triple play turned this year, as the White Sox also accomplished a 5-4-3 double play on May 22 against the Astros. The Twins’ last triple play occurred on June 1, 2017 against the Angels, also a 5-4-3 triple-killing.
The Yankees were eventually able to generate some offense in the third inning on a Gio Urshela solo homer and an RBI single from Encarnación. It’s a 2-2 game as this gets published.
