There’s no better way to start the day than with some breakfast and baseball. That’s how the Sox began their Tuesday, playing three and a half innings of intrasquad action. In case you missed it, here’s a game log and box score with some highlights from our Jonnie Nonnie.
Top of the 1st

Bottom of the 1st
Pitcher: Drew Anderson
- Luis Robert (1): Flies out to shallow right field as Luis Basabe avoids a near collision with second baseman Nick Madrigal to make the grab. *Sigh of relief*
- Tim Anderson (2): Hit by a pitch in the hip area. He would remain in the game and appeared fine.
- Jose Abreu (3): Strikes out swinging on a pitch high and inside.
- Edwin Encarnacion (4): Singles to right field. Tim Anderson advances to third base. Beautiful piece of hitting.
- Eloy Jimenez (5): Grounds out to third baseman Andrew Vaughn, who showed off his arm with a strong throw to first.
Tim Anderson also pretended to fight Zack Collins after the inning.
No score.
Top of the 2nd
Pitcher: Aaron Bummer

Top of the 3rd
Pitching: Evan Marshall
- Luis Basabe (9): Strikes out swinging on a fading pitch away. Bend the knee.
- Adam Engel (1): Hit-by-pitch and Luis Basabe is placed on first base. Engel continues the at-bat and strikes out swinging.
- Nick Madrigal (2): Singles to third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert, who made a nice ranging play but didn’t have a chance for the out.

No score.
Bottom of the 3rd
Pitcher: Drew Anderson
- Leury Garcia (9): Strikes out swinging.
- Luis Robert (1): Singles on a missile to center field.

- Jose Abreu (3): Flies out to Adam Engel in right-center field. Anderson looked to test him and tag up but Engel gave him second thoughts.
- Tim Anderson steals second.

Home team leads 1-0.
