The run was garbage. Reliever Garrett Whitlock clearly had Matt Thaiss struck out in the eighth, but umpire Brian Walsh blew the call. Thaiss then singled with runners on second and third, and the White Sox might have tied the game at 2-2 had Brooks Baldwin got a better jump from second. As it was, he didn’t attempt to score, and Whitlock was able to retire the next two batters. Crochet, who fanned 11, moved to 2-1 with a 1.38 ERA. He’ll face the White Sox again next weekend.

The Red Sox had to clear a spot on their 40-man roster to accommodate their megadeal with the Giants on Sunday and unfortunately that left Penrod out in the cold. The 27-year-old southpaw has registered a 2.84 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and an 8/4 K/BB ratio over 6 1/3 innings in the minor leagues this season after missing the first few months with a left elbow strain. There’s a chance that he passes through waivers unclaimed and continues to serve as extra depth for the Red Sox.

The one real unknown in this mega deal is Jose Bello. The 20-year-old right-hander was signed out of the Dominican Republic and has spent the past three seasons pitching in the lowest levels of the minor leagues. He has registered a 2.00 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and a 28/3 K/BB ratio over 18 innings for the Giants’ affiliate in the Arizona Complex League this season. He’s a very intriguing young arm but a long way from potentially helping out at the major league level.

Tibbs was the Giants’ first-round pick (13th overall) from the 2024 draft class. He’s off to a solid start at High-A Eugene this season, slashing .245/.377/.480 with 12 long balls, 32 RBI and a pair of stolen bases. How the Red Sox ultimately get judged on this mega deal may come down to how big of an impact Tibbs makes in the big leagues upon his ultimate arrival.
