*Besides Jiménez, Abreu was also hit by an up-and-in pitch off his lead shoulder, and Engel was knocked off the plate, so perhaps that informs some pitch selections during the doubleheader. *Grandal went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and yielded a stolen base, although he did catch the entire game. *Alex Call recorded his first hit, a single off longtime Winston-Salem/Birmingham teammate Banks. Anderson also committed an error when his tough throw from shallow center skipped past Abreu and into the Guardians dugout *Engel committed an error when he lost the handle on Amed Rosario’s second-inning RBI single, allowing Rosario to take second on the play. Naylor thwarted it with a slicing liner that got past Adam Engel, which scored both runners and made the final score what it is today. They remained within a slam’s length until the sixth, when Tony La Russa tried to beat Josh Naylor by bringing in Tanner Banks with two on and two outs. Yasmani Grandal was able to come up with a productive out by hitting an RBI grounder to short, and while Eloy Jiménez was hit by a pitch to put runners on the corners, AJ Pollock left them there by striking out.

That “1” was a José Abreu double inside third base that scored Tim Anderson (who singled) and moved Yoán Moncada (who walked) to third. He didn’t have the easiest of nights, throwing 97 pitches over five innings, but he and the Guardians bullpen held the Sox to a 1-for-10 performance in runners in scoring position. Outside of a two-run punch in the third inning, Quantrill kept the Sox in check. Cal Quantrill usually gives the White Sox a tough time (2.76 ERA in nine games), and tonight was no exception. Giolito carried a 1.77 ERA over 12 starts against the Guardians into this game, but it’s safe to say he didn’t get the expected results. Six of the nine hits he allowed had exit velocities below 70 mph, but he hung a first-pitch changeup to Andres Gimenez, and even though Gimenez didn’t get all of it (98.4 mph), it still sailed over the right field wall by a comfortable margin. But he brought a 4.69 ERA into this one, and now it’s up to 5.12 after giving up six runs on nine hits over three innings. Had Giolito come into this game with a 2.69 ERA or a 3.69 ERA, it could’ve easily been shrugged off as bad luck. The White Sox are now 19-26 at home, by the way.

They grabbed a 4-0 lead over the course of 12 pitches, which was all they needed to take the crowd of 31,379 out of it immediately. The Guardians came up hacking against Lucas Giolito, and although the contact was mostly soft, they were still rewarded handsomely. 500 for the first time since May would have to wait. And yes, it does bounce thanks to the Ricochet rule you can hit another target upto range 3 away.After about the first 10 minutes of this game, the White Sox’s hopes of climbing over. With the Shield Throw attack you’ll be ignoring LoS and Cover as this range 4 attack bounces around. Or you can opt for a bigger hit with the “Siberian Shield Slam” which is a Strength 6 hit and makes the push turn into a throw for size 3 or less targets.Īnd speaking of throwing, that Vibranium Shield isn’t just for defense. His basic attack is a Strike that clocks in at Strength 5 and it can push the target a short distance. Red Guardian really comes into his own up close and personal. Though he is not the first man to have the title of the Red Guardian, few others can claim to have worn it with such pride.” Red Guardian Spotlight Krylenko adopted the Red Guardian’s shield and title after initially going by the moniker Vanguard, carrying on the tradition established by one of Russia’s most steadfast defenders. “Following the appearance of their mutant natures, the Russian government quickly adopted Nikolai Krylenko and his twin sister Laynia Petrovna from their mother and trained them as warriors under the supervision of a scientific research team. Watch out what you send his way because there is a good chance he’ll be sending right back! He’s also packing a Vibranium shield that helps him to focus his abilities. With “an energy field that repels nearly all electromagnetic, kinetic, and gravitonic energy forms” Krylenko has assumed the Red Guardian title and wears it with pride. Nikolai Krylenko is another mutant who’s joined up with the Winter Guard.

It’s the big hitter of the Winter Guard - the Red Guardian is under the spotlight this time from Atomic Mass Games.
