Texas 7, NYY 3.
Beating the Yankees is sweet enough. Beating them by playing their type of game – chasing the starting pitcher early by working counts, taking advantage of opportunities, executing without trying to do too much, playing lockdown defense, and letting the best closer in the league shut things down – feels spectacular. And man, if Chris Davis can use this game against the team that spent a 50th-round draft choice on him in high school and didn't even bother making him an offer to sign, and settle into some semblance of a groove that even hints at what he did last June, July, and September, that changes things. Potentially a bunch. White Sox 4, Angels 2. Good night.
