The Chicago White Sox achieved a thrilling 2-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday, thanks to a walk-off bases-loaded walk in the 11th inning. Tristan Peters drew the decisive walk from Yankees pitcher Fernando Cruz, ending a hard-fought contest. Cruz had entered the game with a crucial double play in the 10th inning to send the game into the 11th, but without a lead to work with, he faltered. After an intentional walk and a single, Cruz struck out a batter before walking Peters to seal the win. Peters, who was an All-Star this season, had a difficult time offensively since the All-Star break, but came through in a clutch situation.
